At the Annual Town Meeting in March last, it was 

Voted. To print the Record of the Town of Andover during 
the Rebellion, which has already been prepared by 
Samuel Raymond, and that every voter in town have 
a copy of the same, if desired. 

Voted. To appropriate the sum of One Thousand Dollars to 
carry the same into effect. 

Voted. That a Committee of three be appointed by the Chair- 
In accordance with this Vote, Samuel Raymond, Francis 
H. Johnson, and James B. Smith were appointed. 



PREFACE 



A tew words seem necessan' regarding the origin and 
purpose of the manuscript volume of which this is an 
abridgment. 

The records show that during the late Rebellion the Town 
made several ineffectual efforts to keep a Register of such of 
its citizen's as entered the military or naval service of the 
United States, and who made a part of the several quotas 
which the Town was called upon to furnish. 

It was in 1870, five years after the Rebellion had been 
suppressed, that the people of the Town proposed to erect, 
by voluntary subscriptions, a Memorial Hall, in honor of its 
sons who had sacrificed their lives in the war. The enter- 
prise having been successfully inaugurated, I was chosen 
by my associates on the Building Committee to prepare a 
roll of the honored dead, to be placed under tiie corner-stone. 
The time for preparation was very brief; but, with such 
material as was tlien at hand, a list of forty-six names was 
furnished. Subsequent investigation proved this list to be 
incorrect, in that it embraced the names of six men who, 
at the time of their decease, were serving on the quotas 
of other towns. 

In preparing the rolls for the tablet, as I had both ample 



Vi PREFACE. 

time and leisure, it was my purpose, not only to correct 
the former roll, but to prepare that Register which the Town 
had failed to make during the progress of the Rebellion, 
to record all action of the Town on affliirs pertaining to the 
war, and collect any other kindred matter, whether local or 
otherwise, that might be of interest or use in the future, 
and to present the vohime when completed to the Memorial 
Hall. 

I do Jiot assume that this published volume is correct in 
every particular ; but whatever errors there may be in it are 
chargeable to myself or the State Records, and not to the 
Committee on Publication. I think, however, I may, with 
strict regard to truth and justice, claim that both the 
original and this abridged copy are far more correct than 
the " Record of Massachusetts Volunteers " publislied by 
the State. 

It is exceedingly gratifying that the manuscript vohime 
has in all cases received the unqualified commendation of 
the many prominent citizens who have carefully examined 
its pages, and that the Town has not only granted me a very 
liberal gratuity, but has ordered the publication of the 
present volume for gratuitous distribution among its 
citizens.

Andoveb, January, 1875. 



TO THE CITIZENS OF ANDOVER. 



In the making up of the present volume we have 
endeavored to carry out, so lar as was possible without 
exceeding the means at our disposal, your wislies, as ex- 
pressed in the foregoing Votes. On an examination of the 
Record in its manuscript form, it appeared that to print the 
whole of its contents would involve producing a volume of 
more than four hundred pages, and an expense considerably 
in excess of the appropriation. We therefore ventured to 
omit from the published volume such documents as could 
be spared without materially lessening its value as a History 
of Andover's share in the War of the Rebellion. 

The material omitted belongs mainly to the following 
classes : General Orders, issued from the War Departments 
at Washington and Boston, calling ibr quotas of troops, and 
prescribing rules and regulations for enrolment, volunteer- 
ing, organization, equipment, etc.. Laws of the State on th« 
same subjects, and also those relating to State Aid and 
Bounties, All of these papers can be found in tlie Archives 
of the several Departments. 

We have also omitted several speeches delivered by 
citizens of the Town, lists of subscriptions (being imperfect) 



Viu TO THE CITIZENS OP ANDOVER, 

to the Committee of Twenty-five, and a very full and inter- 
esting Report of over thirty written pages, by Provost-Marshal 
Herrick, of this District, to the War Department at Wash- 
ington, on the subjects of enrolment, drafting, substitution, 
recruiting, etc. 

Mention is made in this volume of all the military or- 
ganizations in which the Town was represented during the 
war ; and, in connection with the names of those who 
served in each one, a list of its engagements and some other 
statistics are given. In the case of the First Mass. Heavy 
Artillery, — one of the companies of which was wholly com- 
posed of soldiers from this Town, and the rolls of which 
contain the names of more than one-third of all tlie soldiers 
furnished by the Town, — much more has been done. A 
full history of this Regiment, compiled from official sources,^ 
will be found in the Appendix.

THE 



RECORD OF ANDOVER 

DURING THE REBELLION. 



On the 18th of April, 1861, — six days after the bombard- 
ment of Fort Sumter, and three days after the proclamation 
of President Lincohi calling fur 75,000 Volunteers, — the 
active participation of Andover in the war of the Rebellion 
began. On that day a meeting of citizens and others was 
held in the Hall at Frye Yillage, in response to a call of only 
seven hours' notice. 

John Dove having been chosen Chairman, Joseph W. Poor 
stated that the particular object for which the meeting was 
called, was to see what could be done toward organizing a 
company of some sort, for the purpose of becoming familiar 
with militaiy drill. 

Remarks were made by the Chairman, Messrs, John Smith, 
Peter Smith, Isaac M. Hardy, William Poor, and many 
others ; after which it was decided to await the action of the 
meeting to be held on the next Saturday evening, at the 
Town Hall. 

The call for this meeting was as follows : 

" CITIZENS ATTEND." 

" The Citizens of Andover are requested to meet at the 
Town Hall, on Saturday evening, April 20th, at 7 o'clock, 
to take into consideration the present alarming condition of 
1 



2 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1861. 

our country, and to devise such measures as may be deemed 
proper to sustain tiie General Government in preserving our 
National Union. 

"A Military Company is being formed in this town, and the 
meeting will have an opportunity to tender to this object 
such sympathy and material aid as the occasion may suggest 
and the times demand. 

'^MANY crnzp:Ns." 

Andoveu, April 18th, 1861. 



On Saturday evening the citizens rallied in great num- 
bers in response to the above call. 

William Chickering having called the meeting to order, was 
chosen temporary Chairman, and George Foster, Secretary. 

A Committee appointed for the purpose of nominating a 
list of officers for the permanent organization of the meeting, 
reported as follows : 

For President, — Francis Cogswell. 

For Vice-Presidents^ — Amos Abbott, John Aiken, Marcus 
Morton, Jr., Samuel Merrill, Nathan W. Hazen, William 
Jenkins, Solomon Holt, John Dove, Oliver H. Perry, Moses 
Clement, Dean Holt, Nathan Frye, David Higgins. 

For Secretaries, — Moses Foster, Jr., George Foster, Albert 
Abbott. 

Committee on Resolutions, — Marcus Morton, Jr., Calvin E. 
Stowc, Oliver H. Ferry ,William G. Means, Samuel Raymond. 

On taking the Chair, the President spoke as follows : 
'' It was the custom of our forefathers to recognize the 
overruling Providence of Almiglity God in public as well as 
private affairs. In times of national prosperity they were 
wont in their public assemblies to return thanks for mercies 
received, and to implore a continuance of the blessing. In 
times of great national adversity it was equally common to 
assemble themselves together to supplicate the interposition 
of Heaven to stay the evil, and avert the impending ruin. 



1861.] DURING THE REBELLION. 3 

111 iinitatioii of such a praiseworthy custom, let us look to a 
Higher Power for counsel, direction, and assistance, in this 
great national emergency. Let us devoutly look to Him who 
can easily control the unruly wills of men, and cause, all 
things, however unpropitious they may appear, to work 
together for good to iis as a nation.' I feel confident, there- 
fore, that I am but carrying out the wishes of all preseiit, 
whose hearts throb with anxiety for the future welfare of our 
country, in calling upon Professor Stowe to lead the devo- 
tions of this great assembly." 

After the earnest and appropriate Prayer of Professor 
Stowe, Mr. Cogswell again addressed the meeting. The 
Committee on Resolutions then reported, through their 
Chairman, Judge Morton, as follows : 

Besolved, That the armed hostility to the United States 
Government, now assumed by a portion of the Southern 
people, is entirely without justification in anything which 
the National Administration has done or proposes to do. 
That the claim of a right to secede at will is utterly subver- 
sive of all government, and leaves the nation a prey to an- 
archy, like that of the South American republics, at the 
close of every election. That the robbing of the nation by 
tlie Secessionists of its money, fortifications, arms, mints, 
ships, custom-houses, and other property, levying war against 
the Government by the raising of troops, and gathering mu- 
nitions of every kind, firing upon the national flag, and 
attempting to murder the national soldiers while in the un- 
aggressive discharge of their duties, and the crying out 
against coercion on the part of the General Government, 
whenever it makes the least attempt at preparation to defend 
itself and its property against tliese open, long-continued, 
and insolent assaults, is absurd, malignant, and mean, beyond 
all parallel in civilized history, and deserves the utter con- 
tempt and detestation of mankind. 

Resolved, That the present position and action of the 
Secessionists is not in consequence of any grievance actually 
endured, or even anticipated, from the General Government, 



4 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1861. 

but the meditated result of a plan, cherished for more than 
thirty years past, by certain restless and ambitious men at 
the South, to establish a great slave empire in the fertile 
regions around the Gulf of Mexico. A plan with which the 
better part of the Southerners themselves have no sympatliy. 
That they are kept quiet by intimidation and violence only ; 
and that the leaders of this rebellious movement are so well 
aware of the fact that they dare not, and never will, submit 
their own action to a fair vote of the people. 

Resolved, That tlie exigencies of the present crisis impera- 
tively demand of all patriots and true friends of liberty and 
order throughout tlie land that, suspending for tlie time the 
discussion of minor party differences, they unite heart and 
soul to sustain the Government against its lawless assailants ; 
and that the zeal and energy with which all parties among 
us are now actually pursuing this course gives the best evi- 
dence of the sincerity of their patriotism, and affords the 
most encouraging indications of the final success of their 
efforts, and of the perpetuity of the free institutions which 
have been so wisely establislied in this Western world, at the 
expense of so much labor and self-denial, so much treasure 
and blood. 

Resolved, Tliat, as the present violent proceedings of the 
Secessionists can be successfully resisted in no other way than 
by an overpowering military force at the disposal of the 
National Government, we hereby pledge ourselves to do all 
in our power to raise, sustain, and encourage such a force ; 
and that, either by bearing arms ourselves, or by contribut- 
ing according to our ability to support the men who do bear 
arms, and their families, we will take our full share in this 
great struggle, and fight as our fathers fought when com- 
pelled by a like necessity. 

Resolved, Tliat the young men of Andover who are about 
organizing th.emsclves into a Military Company to be at the 
disposal of the Government, have now, and sliall continue to 
have, our warmest sympathy and most cordial support. 

These resolutions were received with great applause, and 



1861.] DURING THE REBELLION. ' 5 

were subsequently unanimously adopted. The President 
then announced that the meeting was open for the discussion 
of the resolutions, and introduced to the audience Professor 
Stowe, who was greeted with deafening applause. He was 
followed by John K. Tarbox, Ex-Mayor Saunders of Law- 
rence, Amos Abbott, J. A. Bent of Phillips Academy, 
Joseph W. Poor, Peter Smith, Joseph Holt, William G. 
Means, and others. 

The gallery of the hall, reserved for ladies, was completely 
filled. Music was furnished by the Andover Brass Band, 
whose stirring airs contriluited not a little to the enlivenment 
of the occasion. 

This meeting voted, That a Committee of twenty-five be 
chosen, whose duty it shall be to devise and carry into effect 
such measures as they deem expedient for the support and 
defence of our National Government during the present 
rebellion. That this Committee shall organize itself by the 
choice of a Pi-esident, two Vice-Presidents, a Secretary, and 
a Treasurer, and have power to fill vacancies. That this 
Committee be authorized to raise money by subscription to 
be expended as they shall deem proper for the assistance of 
Volunteers and the families of Volunteers, and to carry out 
the purposes for which they were chosen. 

It was also voted, That the Chair appoint a Committee of 
five to nominate the aforesaid Committee of twenty-five, and 
report at the adjourned meeting. The following gentlemen 
were appointed, viz. Peter Smith, Abraham J. Gould, Willard 
Pike, Benjamin Boynton, and John E. Parnham. At a late 
hour the meeting adjourned to the evening of the following 
Monday. 

April 22d (Monday). A large and spirited meeting was held 
in the Town Hall. The President, Mr. Cogswell, being un- 
avoidably absent, Judge Morton, one of tlie Vice-Presidents, 
assumed the Chair, and after a short address the meeting 
proceeded to the transaction of the business for which it had 
assembled. Peter Smith, Chairman of the Committee of five

Besolved, That the rebellion of the Southern States of the 
Union is, in its principles, not only subversive of the most 
wise and beneficent Government which our patriotic fathers 
labored and fought to establish and a flagrant violation of 
our dearest rights, but is equally at war with the most cher- 
ished principles of our civil liberties, wrought out by ages of 
struggle and toil, and fatal to all institutions founded on the 
riglit of a people to govern themselves by the expressed will 
of the majority. 

Besolved, That we will respond to the call of the President 
of the United States for the means to suppress this rebellion, 
by encouraging Volunteers in this town to enlist in the service

other means as we, as good and loyal citizens, shall have the 
wisdom and the ability to devise and execute, and by adopt- 
ing the language of one of the resolutions passed by this 
town in 1787, as follows : 

" Resolved, That the inhabitants of the town of every 
description, but heads of families in particular, are hereby 
solicited, as they would falsify -the predictions, and disappoint 
the hopes of those who are inimical to our independence and 
happiness, as they would gratify the anxious wislies of our 
best friends, and the friends of freedom in general, as they 
regard the political well-being of themselves and posterity, 
as they hold precious the memory of the heroes and patriots 
and of our own kindred who have sacrificed their lives that

28 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1862. 

suppress insurrections, and repel invasions," etc. All able- 
bodied male citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty- 
five will be included. No exemptions will be considered in 
making tlie enrolment. The proper exemptions will be made 
on proceeding to draft, if any draft shall be made. All 
Assessors of the cities and towns respectively, will please 
proceed without delay to execute this duty. 

JOHN A. ANDREW, 
Governor of Massachusetts. 
By order, etc. 

OLIVER WARNER, 

Secretary of State. 

Aug. Hth, A Citizens' meeting was held in the Town Hall 
in the evening to consider the expediency of offering a bounty 
for Volunteers to fill the Andover quota of nine months' men. 

The meeting was organized by the ciioice of the following 
officers. 

President, — Francis Cogswell. 

Vice-Presidents, — T. N. Haskell, John L. Taylor, Samuel 
C. Jaclvson, Peter Smith, Edward Buck, Daniel Logue, James 
Howarth, George Foster, James S. Eaton, C. M. Cordley, 
William S. Jenkins, Amos Abbott, Stephen Tracy, William 
Poor, James Shaw, Henry G. Tyer, Asa A. Abbott, Benjamin 
Boynton, Henry A. Bodwell, J. Q. A. Edgell, Abraliam J. 
Gould, James Byers, Willard Pike. 

Secretary, — Warren F. Draper. 

After the meeting had been addressed by the President, 
Rev. Mr. Haskell, Dr. Jackson, Rev. J. L. Taylor, Rev. Mr. 
Cordley, and Dr. Howarth, the following resolutions were 
offered by the Secretary. 

Whereas, The Government of the United States by an 
order from the War Department dated August 4th, 1862, 
calls for a draft from the loyal States of the Union for three 
hundred thousand men, to serve nine months in the armies 
of the United States, and whereas in responding to this 
demand of the Government many towns in this State are 



1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 20 

raising their quotas by the enlistment of Volunteers with the 
inducement of bounties ; therefore, 

Resolved^ That the quota of Andover under the above 
specified call of the Government, as it shall be appointed by 
the Governor of this Commonwealth be raised by the recruit- 
ment of Volunteers ; and to the end that this plan may be 
successfully and speedily consummated, the citizens of this 
town, now assembled, respectfully re(juest their Selectmen to 

offer to each Volunteer the bounty of dollars, to be 

paid as soon as lie shall be sworn into service. 

Resolved, That the Selectmen are liereby requested to open 
a recruiting- office without delay, and to adopt such other 
measures as they may deem expedient for securing the quota 
of this town. 

Resolved, That we will uphold and sustain our board of 
Selectmen in carrying out the provision of these resolutions, 
and give them our support at a formal meeting of the Town, 
whicli they are requested to call at once. 

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be placed in 
the hands of the Selectmen. 

On a motion of John Flint the blank was filled by insert- 
ing one hundred dollars as the bounty. The resolutions were 
then unanimously adopted. 



COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

Headquarters, Bostox, Aug. 21, 1862. 
General Order, No. 38. 

Whereas, The provisions of the Statutes of this Common- 
wealth are defective for the purpose of carrying into effect 
the draft of militia under the Order of the President of the 
United States, bearing date August 4th, 1862. It is there- 
fore, ordered. 

First, That the quota of a draft of three hundred thou- 
sand militia, to be called into the service of the United 
States to serve for the period of nine months, unless sooner 



30 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862, 

discharged, which the State of Massachusetts has been re- 
quired to furnish, to wit: nineteen thousand and eighty 
men to be raised by a draft, whicli will be conducted in con- 
formity with the regulations of tlie War Department of the 
United States contained in General Order No. 99 of said 
Department, bearing date August 9, 1862, a copy of which 
is published with, and as a part of, the present Order 
(marked A). 

Second, It is further Ordered, That the Assessors of the 
several towns and cities use all possible dispatch in complet- 
ing and returning the new enrolment in the manner heretofore 
ordered, which is in no respect modified by this Order. 

Thirds And that the Selectmen of the several towns, and 
Mayors and Aldermen of the several cities, immediately return 
to the office of the Adjutant-General a sworn statement of the 
names and number of their inhabitants who have heretofore 
been mustered into the service of the United States, wliose 
stipulated term of service has not expired, with the Com- 
panies and Regiments into which they have been enlisted. 
This return is directed in order that the draft may be equal- 
ized as far as possil)le, and towns and cities which have here- 
tofore furnished more men them their just proportion may 
have due allowance for the same in the draft. 

Fourth^ Commissioners to superintend drafting in each 
County will be forthwith appointed, and Surgeons to deter- 
mine claims of exemption on account of disability. These 
officers will receive minute instructions from the Commander- 
in-chief as to the mode of executing their respective duties. 

Fifth, Copies of the enrolment lists for each town and 
city will be kept in the office of the town or city clerk for 
inspection. The copies to be returned to the Adjutant-Gen- 
eral will be liled with the Sheriff of the several Counties for 
two days previous to the commencement of drafting in any 
city or town. 

Sixth, The Commissioners and Surgeons will themselves 
appoint times and places for receiving and determining 
claims for exemption, confoi'mably to the regulations of the 



1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 31 

War Deparment, and all exemptions must be then and there 
claimed and determined, and not afterwards ; but all ex- 
emptions known to the Commissioners to exist, will be allowed 
whether claimed or not. 

Seventh, After all not liable to draft have been stricken 
from the list in any town or city hj the Commissioner, he 
will at once report the number remaining thereon to the 
Adjutant-General, wlio will proceed to fix tlie exact quota of 
said town or city, and order the Commissioner to make a 
draft for the same in the manner prescribed in tlie regulations 
of the War Department. 

Eighth, Rendezvous and commandants of the same will be 
seasonably appointed. 

Ninth, The drafting will commence in accordance with the- 
Order of the War Department, dated August 4, 1862, which 
is herewith published as a part of this Order (marked B). 

Tenth, The instructions relating to enrolment promul- 
gated through the State Department are herewith republished 
for the information of all. 

Eleventh, Although every arrangement will be made as 
speedily as possible to execute this draft, — and the same 
will l)e promptly and rigidly carried out in any place which 
fails to furnish Volunteers to tlie numl)er of its quota of 
militia, — yet the Municipal Authorities and Citizens of 
Massachusetts are earnestly exhorted to furnish at once the 
requisite number of Volunteers in order to avoid wherever 
possible, and if possible everywhere, any necessity for 
drafting. 

To this end the Adjutant-General will at once publish for 
the information of the people an approximate estimate of the 
number of men due from each place, although an accurate 
staten^ient cannot be made until the enrolment is completed, 
and the names of ajl not liable to draft have been stricken 
out. 

To prevent all misunderstanding, notice is given that all 
Companies of Vokmteer Militia which do not volunteer will 
be disbanded before the exemptions are arranged upon the 



32 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862. 

enrolment lists ; this course is rendered necessary because 
otherwise the members of Volunteer Companies would be 
exempt from draft. 

Tlie Commander-in-chief has never for a moment doubted 
that the patriotism of the people of Massacliusetts already 
illustrated by so much devotedness to the cause of their 
country from the beginning of the present struggle, would 
voluntarily furnish all the suj)port of means, and of men, 
which the exegencies of the service and tlieir duty may re- 
quire. Nor does he believe it now doubtful that Volunteers 
for the quota required will be enlisted as rapidly as the 
means can be accumulated for their care, eqiiipmeiit, and 
organization. But, as from the first, it has been the purpose 
and duty of the State Government to obey all lawful orders 
emanating from the President and the Department of War, 
so now it is tlie purpose of the Governor of Massachusetts 
faithfully to pursue the directions he may receive in tliis be- 
half. And he relies on the unshrinking courage, the loyal 
patriotism, and the ancient manly character of the people of 
Massachusetts for all the support and encouragement which 
may be needed in the future. 

By command of His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Gov- 
ernor and Commander-in-Chief. 

WILLIAM SCHOULER, 

Adjutant-General. 

Aug. 25th. A Town Meeting was held in the afternoon 
which was largely attended. The meeting was organized by 
the choice of S. C. Jackson as Moderator. The following 
Articles were in the Warrant calling the meeting. 

Article 2d. — To see if the Town will pay a bounty of one 
hundred dollars to Volunteers for filling Andover's quota of 
nine months' men. 

Article 3d. — If the second article pass in the afifirmative, 
to see if the Town will authorize their Treasurer to hire 
money to pay said bounty, if necessary. 

Article 4th. — To see if the Town will ratify the resolu- 



1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 33 

tions passed at the Citizens' meeting of August 14th, request- 
ing the Selectmen to open a recruiting office. 

Took up Article 2d, and adopted the following, proposed 
by Dr. Jackson. 

Whereas, The State of Massachusetts has been required 
under an Oi'der of the President of the United States, bear- 
ing date August 4, 1862, to furnisli her quota of a draft of 
(300,000) three hundred thousand militia, amounting to 
(19,080) nineteen thousand and eighty men, to serve for nine 
months, unless sooner discharged, in the service of the United 
States, and 

Whereas, The citizens- of this town would cordially respond 
to said Order of the President by furnishing Volunteers rather 
than conscripts to fill up its quota of tlie jjroposed draft, and 
would deem it a dishonor and a stain upon their patriotism 
to send soldiers raised l)y consci'iption for the defence of 
Liberty and the Union ; and. 

Whereas, Tlie said citizens desire to equalize, as far as may 
be, the pecuniary burdens imposed upon the people by the 
present war against a most wicked rebellion ; therefore, 

Voted, That each Volunteer to fill the quota of men to be 
assigned to this town under the aforesaid Order of the Presi- 
dent for a draft of militia, shall receive from the treasury of 
the town the sum of one hundred dollars as a bounty, when 
duly accepted and sworn into the service of the United 
States. 

Took up Article 3d, and 
■ Voted, That the Treasurer be authorized to hire a sum not ex- 
ceeding six thousand dollars, if necessary, to pay said bounty. 
Took up Article 4th, and, 

Voted, To ratify the doings of the Selectmen., in opening 
a recruiting office. 

The foregoing votes having passed unanimously, and the 
business of the meeting being disposed of, Mr. Benjamin F. 
Wardwell offered the following preamble and resolution, 
whicli was adopted, with but one negative vote.

1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 37 

As the foregoing list of two hundred and twenty-two in- 
habitants was the starting point of all succeeding quotas, it 
is desirable that the facts in relation to it should be some- 
what fully stated. When the President made his first call 
for Volunteers on the 15th day of April, 1861, it does not 
appear that any quotas were assigned to the several munici- 
palities. Recruiting offices were opened at any place where 
it was apparent a Company could be raised. During the in- 
terval between this and the second call in July 1862, many 
of our citizens had left town and enlisted in other places, 
wherever fancy, friendship, or interest dictated ; often giving 
as their place of residence, on tlie enlistment rolls, the name 
of the place where they happened to enlist. 

It was in the interest of this second call, the call under 
which the fifty-two recruits were furnished from this town, 
that quotas were assigned and bounties paid. The quotas 
were computed on the basis of the very imperfect returns 
made by the assessors of " men liable to do military duty " ; 
returns which for years they had been required to make 
annually. 

As a third call was about to be made, and these returns 
were imperfect, the Governor by Proclamation of August 
8th, 1862, ordered a new enrolment ; and on the 21st issued 
General Order No. 38. 

It will be noticed by referring to the Order which precedes 
the list, that the Selectmen were required to immediately 
return to the Adjutant-General's office, " a sworn statement 
of the number and names of the inhabitants who have here- 
tofore been mustered into the service of the United States, 
whose specified term of service has not expired," etc. 

Tiie list returned by the Selectmen, pursuant to this Order, 
was again an imperfect one. But in view of the fact that it 
was the list accepted by the State authorites, and by the Town 
as true, it is given in this volume without alteration. 

The most material errors in it are as follows : 

It claims eleven men as in the 4th, 5th, and 6th Regiments. 
These were all three months' Regiments which on the expira- 



38 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862, 

tion of their term of service, nearly or quite a year previous, 
had been mustered out. Baker and Hanson liad re-cnlisted 
in the 1st Company of Sharp-Shooters, and Marland in the 
2d Battery, and the name of Frorz is not found in either 
Regiment. Costello's name appears in the 14th where he 
belonged, and again in the 22d. Welch was not in the 11th ; 
the Regiment to wliich he belonged, if any, is unknown. The 
name of John Johnson in tlie 14th, probably should have 
been Solon Johnson. 

On tlie other hand the names of a large number of men, 
whose " specified terms of service iiad not expired," were 
omitted. Of these, some had died in the service, some had 
been discliarged for disability ; but by far the larger number 
still remained in active service. A list of these omitted 
names will be found on a subsequent page. 

Tlie other errors are perhaps unimportant, and consist 
principally in placing some twelve men, more or less, in 
Regiments to which they did not belong. 

It was ascertained early in August that tliis town's quota 
of nine months' men would be about twenty-three, tlie Town 
authorities without awaiting the official notification of its 
quota, proceeded without delay to enlist that number of men, 
and before the publication (October 1st) of General Order 
No. 52, assigning to the several cities and towns their respec- 
tive quotas, there had been mustered into service the follow- 
ing 

Roll of Nine Months' Volunteers, mustered into Service in response 
to General Order No. 38, of Ait gust 2Yst, and in anticipation of 
General Order No. 52, of October Ist.

Sept, 15tll. A Town Meeting was called to act upon the 
following Articles. Amos Abbott being Moderator. 

Article 2d. — To determine what action the Town will 
take in reference to extending the payment of the bounty 
voted at the last Town Meeting to all Volunteers who shall 
enlist from this town, on petition of Marcus Morton, Jr., and 
others. 

Article 3d. — To see if the Town will authorize the 
Treasurer to borrow money to carry the above vote into 
effect. 

Took up Article 2d, and 

Voted, That the Selectmen be authorized to pay a bounty 
of one hundred dollars to all able-bodied men who shall enlist 
from this town for nine months or more, and be duly sworn 
into the service of the United States. 

Took up Article 3d, and 

Voted, That the Treasurer be authorized to hire money 
necessary to carry the above vote into effect. 



40 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1862. 

Complaints having been made that cities and towns whose 
quotas of nine months' men were not completed were induc- 
ing inhabitants of other places, by the payment of large 
bounties, to enlist to tlieir credit, and were also claiming 
credit for men omitted in tlie returns called for by General 
Order No. 38, the Governor issued the following Order. 

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACPIUSETTS. 

Headquarters, Boston, Oct. 1, 1862. 
General Order No. 52. 

Ordered^ That the numbers of the militia to be furnished 
by the several towns and' cities for nine months' service, in 
accordance with General Order No. 51, and in answer to the 
call of the President of the United States, dated August 4, 
1862, be those stated opposite their respective names in the 
third column of figures in the Schedule lierewith published. 

Ordered^ That the Selectmen, or Mayor and Aldermen of 
those towns and cities which shall furnish, as a part of their 
proportion for such nine months' service, men who are in- 
habitants of other places, return to the office of the Adjutant- 
General on or before the eleventh day of October, instant, a 
sworn statement of the names of such men, with the places 
of their residence, and the Regiments in which they shall 
have enlisted, together with the written consent of the Select- 
men, or Mayor and Aldermen of the town or city in which 
they may reside. 

Ordered^ That the Selectmen, or Mayor and Aldermen of 
towns and cities claiming credit towards tiieir quotas of nine 
months' men, for men enlisted for three years and not named 
in the previous returns called for by General Order No. 38, 
return to the office of the Adjutant-General on or before the 
eleventh day of October, instant, a supplementary statement, 
under oiith, of such additional names, and the Regiments 
into which tiiey have enlisted. 

By order of his Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor 
and Commander-in-Cliief.

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

Headquarters, Boston, Nov. 1, 1862. 
General Order No. 56. 

Whereas, Since the promulgafiou of General Order No. 
52, fixing the numbers of the militia to be furnished by the 
several towns and cities for nine months' service, in answer 
to the call of the President of the United States, dated Aug. 
4, 1862, a portion of those towns and cities have been allowed, 
upon their petition, setting forth equitable reasons therefor, 
to have the names of men stricken from their lists of enrolled 
militia as exempts from draft, numbering in the aggregate 
(4097) four thousand and ninety-seven, by which means 
deductions have been made from the numbers to be furnished, 
amounting in all to (1802) eighteen hundred and two; and 

Whereas, Since tlie promulgation of said General Order, 
credits have been allowed to several towns and cities for men 
previously in service who had been omitted from tiieir pre- 
vious returns, amounting in all to (1952) nineteen Imndred 
and fifty-two. and 

Whei^eas, These two classes of allowances have diminished 
the number of nine months' men furnished by the Common- 
wealth to the extent of (3754) thirty-seven hundred and fifty- 
four men, and a new apportionment is thereby rendered 
necessary to supply the dt-ficiency, which it is estimated will 
be about (2000) two thousand, after deducting the surpluses 
of those places which have exceeded the number required of 
them.' and 

Whereas, Several otiier towns and cities have represented 
that, from their not understanding its importance or efi'ect, 



42 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1862. 

they neglected to have stricken from their rolls the names of 
persons entitled to be exempt from draft, thereby rendering 
their proportions higher than those of other places where 
more attention was paid to that subject, and 

Whereas, Several towns and cities have represented that 
of the number of men whom they have in service, a large 
portion are aliens, and j)ersons not liable to draft, — wiiich 
fact does not appear on their sworn returns of men in service, 
— and that in consequence, their relative capacity has been 
rated liiglier than it would have been if the facts had appeared 
on tlieir returns. 

Now there/ore, For the purpose^f a new apportionment to 
supply the deficiency above-mentioned, and to render the 
same as just and equal as possible, it is hereby 

Ordered, That the Drafting Commissioners, appointed by 
General Order No. 43, sit again to hear claims to exemption, 
in the manner directed l)y the instructions to the said Com- 
missioners issued from the Executive Department of this 
Commonwealth under the date of September 6, 1862, and 
that they give notice of their hearings, revise the lists of 
enrolled militia, strike the names of exempts therefrom, and 
report to the Adjutant-General the number of names remain- 
ing on lists of each city and town in their respective coun- 
ties, in the manner directed by the said instructions. And 
it is further 

Ordered, Tliat the Selectmen of every town, and the Mayor 
and Aldermen of every city who liad, prior to the first day 
of October, 1862, returned to the Adjutant-General the 
names of any men enlisted in the military service of the 
United States who were aliens, or exempted from being 
drafted for any other reason not arising from their enlist- 
ment, report to the Adjutant-General the names of all such 
enlisted persons so exempted, and the reasons of such exemp- 
tion ; and it is further 

Ordered, That all reports and returns called for by this 
Order, be made to the Adjutant-General on or before the 
fifteentli day of November, instant, and that no report or re- 



1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 4S 

turn shall he received or considered in makiiig up such oppor- 
tionment^ unless received hy the Ad j utant- General on or before 
the said ffteenth day of November^ and that no revision of 
militia rolls, and no returns of men in service shall after- 
wards be allowed to vary the said apportionment. And it is 
further 

Ordered, That each of tlic said Commissioners make a 
particular report of the cases, if any, in which they have 
reason to believe that certificates of physical disability have 
been improperly executed, in order that such cases may be 
investigated at Head-Quarters. Such certificates if found to 
be erroneous will not be conclusive. 

By order of his Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor 
and Commander-in-Ciiief. 

WILLIAM SCHOULER, 

Adjutant-General. 

Nov. 22d. The Governor issued General Order No. 58, 
ordering a draft to be executed on the 8th of December. A 
Schedule attached to this Order shows that in this Town 

The whole number of non-exempts by the Commissioners 

returns was ........ 537 

Whole No. of non-exempts in three years' service . . 203 

Leaving liable to draft ..... 334 
Andover's whole quota as assigned by General Order 

No. 58, 287 

Whole No. of men in 3 years' service (19 being exempts), 222 

Whole No. of nine months' men required . . t)5 

The number that has been mustered in ... 23 

Leaving the number to be furnished at this date, 42 

Nov. 25th. A Citizens' Meeting was held in the Town 
Hall to take action with regard to the new demand for nine 
months' men. A Committee was appointed, consisting of 
Samuel Raymond, Jacob Chickeriiig, Henry A. Bodvvell, 
John Cornell, and ^Varren F. Draper, to act in concert with 
the Selectmen in effecting specified measures. 



44 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1862. 

Nov. 20th. Mr. Draper, one of the Committee, and Mr. 
Asa A. Abbott, one of the Selectmen, subsequently waited 
upon the Governor, and presented the following petition. 

To his Excellencij John A. Andrew^ Governor of the State of 
Massachusetts : 

The Selectmen of Andover on Tuesday last, the 25tli in- 
stant, called a meeting of the citizens at which they 
announced the fact that, by an Order (No. 58) from the State 
authorities, the Town was called upon to furnish more men 
to fill its qu(jta for nine months' service in the United States 
Armies. Tiie citizens were startled and mortified by the an- 
nouncement of a deficienc}^ of nearly double the number of 
the first call wliich they had fully filled, and with alacrity. 
As neitlier the Selectmen nor other citizens were able to ex- 
plain the fact, a Committee of investigation was appointed. 

In the brief time which has since elapsed, the following 
facts have been developed. 

First, That the Selectmen acting under orders from the 
State authorities, have made a return of the names of two 
hundred and twenty-two men from this town who were in 
the three years' military service of the United States previous 
to the call for, the nine months' quota. 

Second, That they have i-eturned the names of twenty- 
three men to fill the nine months' quota, being the whole 
number called for by the Order of the State under the previous 
apportionment. 

Third, That there are not less than thirty, and we believe 
there are nearly forty moi'e names on the regimental rolls at 
^tlie. State House belonging to Andover, several of whose 
families have received and are receiving State Aid through 
the agency of the Selectmen of Andover, but whose names 
have not been returned to the State authorities, a list of 
which names, together with the Regiments and Companies 
in which they serve, is hereto annexed. 

Fourth, That adequate notice of the times and places for 
obtaining exemptions has not been given to the enrolled in- 



1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 45 

habitants of the town since the first apportionment was filled, 
while the impression has prevailed that the qnota of the town 
was filled ; and conseqnently few have known the importance, 
or have embraced the opportunity, of claiming exemptions. 

Fifth, That during the interval between the first and 
second apportionment of nine m(niths' quotas, several cities 
and towns of this State, particularly those which had failed 
promptly to fill up their quf)tas under the first apportion- 
ment, have employed the interval in obtaining exemptions 
for tlieir citizens, in some cases paying tlie Surgeon's fees 
from the public treasury, and by other means encouraging 
persons to claim exemption, therel)y reducing their quotas 
in the new apportionment, while Andover, whose quota was 
early filled, has not been aware of these efforts, and has not 
made corresponding exertions. Thus great inequality has been 
produced in the new apjoortionment, and great injustice will 
be done by the enforcement of a draft under it. An unequal 
burden will be imposed upon those towns most prompt in 
responding to the early calls of the Government As an 
illustration, we state that the enrolled militia of Andover, 
aside from those in service, as appears by the retnrns in the 
office of the Commissioners, number three hundred and 
seventy; of whom thirty-seven have been exempted or just 
one in ten, while the neighboring town of North Andover 
has two hundred and ninety-four enrolled, of whom seventy- 
six are exempted, more than one in four of their enrolment. 

It can be shown that, had proper returns been made by 
tliose in service from Andover, and had the efforts been made 
to obtain exempts here that have been made in some other 
towns, Andover would have to-day a surplus above all 
demands upon her. 

If it be objected that the Town of Andover in common 
with all the rest has had an opportunity to correct its returns, 
and that if its Selectmen have failed or neglected to make 
full returns, the responsibility rests upon the Town ; it is un- 
fortunate, but not unjust, we reply, that the Selectmen are 
in this matter the appointees of the State authorities, tliat 



46 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862. 

they have not submitted their doings to the Town. No com- 
plete list of Andover soldiers, or list of men returned to the 
office of the State authorities has been accessible in the town ; 
consequently, the citizens have remained to a great extent, 
in ignorance of the doings of the Selectmen under the belief 
that tlie quota of the town was full. Justice seems to de- 
mand that at least credit should be given to the town for 
those slie had sent to the war, that her citizens should not be 
sul)jected to the mortification and cruelty of an unjust draft, 
after so promptly answering the calls of the Government for 
men, in consequence of the omission or oversight of those 
whom tlie State itself appointed to conduct these matters. 

We, therefore, pray your Excellency that a further oppor- 
tunity be given to Andover to make additional returns of her 
men in service, and for further exemptions. 

ASA A. ABBOTT, one nflJie Seledmen. 
W. F. DRAPER, one of the Committee. 
Andover, Nov. 29, 1SG2. 

Dec. 1st. A Town Meeting was held to act on the following 
Articles. 

Article 2d. — To see what action the Town will tai<o to 
fill up the quota of men called for from this town, for the 
Military Service of the United States by General Order 
No. 68. 

Article 3d. — To act on any otlier business that may 
legally come before said meeting. 

Took up Article 2d, and the following report was made. 

By a recent Order (No. 58) from the State, dated Nov. 
22d, the town of Andover is called upon to furnish forty-two 
more men to fill up tlie quota of nineteen thousand and 
eighty to l)e sent from this State under the last call fronx the 
Government; and in case this number of foi'ty-two is not 
otherwise furnished and mustered into service before the 8th 
of December, instant, the deficiency will be supplied by a 
draft, to commence on that day, at nine o'clock. On receiv- 



1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 47 

ing the Order the Selectmen called a meeting of the citizens 
last Tuesday evening. Several questions arose at tiiat meet- 
ing whicli could not then be satisfactorily answered, and a 
Committee was chosen to make investigation. 

Tins Committee ascertained that tlie names of several An- 
dover men, who were, and are now in service, had not been 
returned to the State authorities, and consequently had not 
been credited to tlie Town in making out its quota called for 
by tlie Order above mentioned. Could these names now be 
returned they would reduce the quota accordingly. It was 
found that, during the ijiterval between the first enrolment 
and the second closing of the returns (Nov, 15), some towns 
had encouraged their citizens to obtain exemptions at the 
expense of the town treasury, thereby greatly reducing their 
quota, while Andover had made no corresponding effort to 
exempt its citizens. 

These facts were communicated to the Governor, accom- 
panied by a petition that further opportunity might be 
allowed to Andover to make her returiis of men in the ser- 
vice, and for its citizens to claim exemption. A Ibrmal 
answer has not been received to this petition. But the 
Adjutant-General and the Governor submitted a report upon 
another case, involving the same principles which govern our 
own, wherein the conclusion is reached that no relief can be 
granted. The Town of Andover having had equal oppor- 
tunity with all others in the State, must submit to whatever 
inconvenience any failure on its own part may subject it. 
The Committee have made efforts to ascertain how many of 
its citizens have entered the service, who can be made avail- 
able toward making up the forty-two men lacking of its quota, 
according to General Order No. 58. It is believed that there 

are such men. If these are accepted there still remain 

men to be furnished to fill the quota from this town. Where- 
upon, it was 

Voted, That a complete list of the enrolled militia of this 
town be entered in a book suitable for the purpose ; in whicli 
the exempts shall be designated by drawing a red line through 



48 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862. 

their names as ordered by the State in its rolls. Also, tliat 
tliere shall be made a complete list of men in the service, 
who arc counted to the Town as part of its qnotas ; to which 
shall be added from time to time, the name of every man 
who shall contribute any part of any quota called for from 
this town, together with the Regiment and Company which 
he joined, the date of his being mustered into service, of his 
discharge, death, etc., as far as can be ascertained ; and that 
this book shall be kept at the Town House for inspection, at 
suitable times, for all citizens of the town. 

Voted, That a Committee acting in conjunction v.itli the 
Selectmen, be chosen to prepare, and keep tliese lists. 

Voted, Tliat a Committee of one or more persons be chosen 
from each school district, to aid in obtaining these names 
and facts, and report the same to tlie recording Committee ; 
also to aid the Selectmen in procuring enlistments to fill the 
quota of the town under General Order No. 58. 

Voted, Tiiat tlie Selectmen of the town be authorized to 
pay to every Volunteer, who shall be credited to the town on 
its quota under General Order No. 58, a bounty of one hun- 
dred dollars on being mustered into service — whether such 
Volunteer be a resident of this town or otherwise, — and the 
sum of ten dollars expenses, in case of those enlisted out of 
town. 

Chose as Committee first named above, — Samuel Ray- 
mond, Jacob Chickering, Henry A. Bodwell, John Cornell, 
and Warren F. Draper. 

Chose as Committee from School Districts : 

South Centre, — John Cornell, George Foster.

Bailey, — Simeon Bard well. 
Osgood, — Henry Boynton. 

The meeting then adjourned to Tlnirsday evening, Decem- 
ber 4th. 

Dec. 4th, The Town Meeting met according to adjourn- 
ment. 

Voted, That the Selectmen be requested to inquire into 
all facts in reference to a list of names reported in service, 
and report at an adjournment. 

Voted, To reconsider the vote of Monday last, offering a 
bounty of one hundred and ten dollars. 

Voted, That the Selectmen be rcquii-cd to pay a bounty of 
one hundred and fifty dollars to all men required to (ill the 
quota of this town. 

Amos Abbott gave notice that he should move a reconsid- 
eration of this vote at an adjournuient of this meeting. 

A motion to dissolve this meeting was decided by a yea 
and nay vote, the check-list being used ; yeas forty-three, 
nays sixty-four. 

Adjourned to one week from this evening, at half-past seven 
o'clock. 

Dec. 4th. The Governor issued General Order No. 60. sus- 
pending the draft for ten days in such cities and towns as 
adopt the suggestions therein made. 

Dec. 11th. The Town Meeting was held according to 
adjournment. 

The matter of the notice of Amos Abbott was laid on the 
table, to hear the Selectmen's report of their doings. 

The Chairman of the Board reported that after the meet- 
ing of December 1st, and prior to the meeting of December 
4th, they made an arrangement with a recruiting officer in 
Boston to furnish men for the three years' service, at the 
bounty offered by the Town ; and that in compliance with 
said arrangement, twenty-six men had been recruited. It

[1862. 



was hoped to get seven men allowed, which would leave but 
nine men wanted to fill the quota of this town. 

Motion taken from the table, and 

Voted, To reconsider the vote of December 4th, in offer- 
ing a bounty of one hundred and fifty dollars. 

Voted, Thiit the Town will conform to General Order No. 
60, in its future efforts to fill the quota of men called for by 
General Order No. 58, and that the Selectmen be authorized 
to pay each Volunteer, who shall be credited to the town on 
said quota, a bounty of one hundred dollars, on being mus- 
tered into service, — whether such Volunteer be a resident 
of this town or otherwise. — and the sum of ten dollars each 
for expenses, in ease of those enlisted out of town. 

Voted, Tiiat the District Committee chosen December 1st, 
be requested to report to the Selectmen once a month. 



Roll of Thirty-four Recruits for Three Years' Service -who were 
mustered on or before the \^th of December^ as apart of the quota 
of Nine Months' Men due from this tozvn ; all were attached to 
the 'I'ld, Reifiment of Infxntrij. They were enlisted at Recruiting 
Offices in Boston, and it does not appear that any of them ever 
joined the Regiment.

1863.] DURING THE REBELLION. 53 

April 13th. A Meeting of the Citizens was held in the 
Town Hall in the evening for the purpose of forming a' Union 
League. Peter Smith was chosen temporary Chairman, and 
John Cornell, Secretary. 

The meeting was addressed by Peter Smith, Rev. Mr. 
Colver, Amos Abbott, George Foster, A. J. Gould, and 
others, when the following Resolutions and Articles were 
adopted unanimously. 

Resolved^ That in these solemn liours of peril to tlie Re- 
public, whicli is menaced by a rebellion of unparalleled mag- 
nitude and atrocity, and by tlio suspicious attitude of foreign 
nations, it is the duty of all citizens to support cordially and 
unswervingly the measures adopted for the maintenance of 
the Government, in all its departments, by those who have 
been chosen to administer its offices. And whereas, there 
are many manifestations in several of the Northern States of 
a defiant and factious spirit of opposition to the Administra- 
tion, and of sympathy for the cause of the Rebels, now 
therefore. 

Resolved^ That we deplore the existence of this treasonable 
spirit. We denounce the expression of any sympathy with 
the rebellion as reckless, insolent, and wanton approval of 
the greatest crime in history ; and holding these manifesta- 
tions to be dangerous to the well-being of the Republic, and 
to the cause of civil liberty throughout the world, we unite 
in declaring that we will not give aid or support to any per- 
son, circulate or encourage the publication of any book or 
paper, or approve of or countenance any public appeals 
which are employed in defending tlie rebellion, or any of the 
steps thereto, or attacking the Administration, or any of the 
measures it has adopted for cari-ying on the war, — a war 
brought about solely by traitors and rebels, and which must 
be continued till the final suppression of the rebellion. And 
be it further 

Resolved, That whereas it is at all times magnanimous 
conduct, but noiv especially the solemn duty of all patriots, 
to bear cheerfully the public burdens, to aid and encourage 



54 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1863. 

the ministers of tlio Government in the performance of their 
responsible and often painful duties, and to exhibit a spirit 
of liberality and fraternity toward all lionest and ])atriotic 
political opponents ; now therefore, we invite all good citizens 
to join with us in the earnest .efforts, which we pledge our- 
selves to make, to promote the patriotic objects set forth in 
these resolutions. And to that end, we constitute ourselves 
an Association to be called •' The Andover Union League." 
and to be organized as follows : 

Article 1st. — The Organization shall consist of a Presi- 
dent, five Vice-presidents, Treasurer, and Secretary, 

Article 2d. — It sliall be the object of the Association to 
encourage and disseminate patriotic sentiments in our social 
intercourse by public addresses, and by printed publications. 

Article 3d. — The conditions of membership shall be, un- 
qualided loyalty to the Constitution of the United States, 
and unwavering support of the Federal Government in what- 
ever efforts it may use for the suppression of the rebellion, 
and subscription to these Resolutions and Articles, with the 
anniuil payment of fifty cents towards defraying the expenses 
of the League. 

A Connnittee chosen for the purpose, reported the follow- 
ing permanent officers. 

President, — Francis Cogswell. 

Vice-Presidents, — Samuel C. Jackson, William Jenkins, 
Willard Pike, George Foster, and Isaac Carratli. 
Secretary and Treasurer, — Samuel Raymond. 

A vote was passed directing the Secretary to procure the 
printing of the Resolutions and Articles of Association in 
season for the next meeting, which was to be held in the 
Town Hall on the next Monday evening at half-past seven 
o'clock. 

April 2Sth. The Legislature passed an Act. entitled "An 
Act to provide for the i-einiluirsement of Bounties paid to 
Volunteers, and to apportion and assess a lax therefor."

111 June and July it appears that the War Department 
availed itself of the law of Coii<>ress, authorizing the raising 
of troops by draft. A Provost Marshal-General for the State, 
and Assistant Provost-Marshals for the several Congressional 
Districts were appointed at Washington to conduct the 
draft ; no authority was conferred upon them to accept 
Volunteers. A Board was also established to make an enrol- 
ment of all males in the State between the ages of twenty 
and forty-five years. 

It hardly need bo stated that the enforcement of this law 
was obnoxious and distasteful to the people who had so gen- 
erously responded to all calls of their Governor for Volun- 
teers to sustain the cause of the Union ; to this and the high 
rate of pliysical ability required of the conscript was to be 
attributed the failure of the draft. 
The whole number of persons enrolled, exclusive of those in the Army and 

Navy, was 164,178

by the Selectmen. 

Sept. 10th. The Secretary of the " Soldiers' Aid Society 
of Andover" made the following Report. 

Tlie first public meeting of the " Soldiers' Aid Society " 
was held in the Town Hall June 24, 1863 ; since which ten 
meetings iiave been held. Fr(nn tliirty to sixty ladies have 
iisnally been present. 

Three hundred and sixty-seven articles have been cut out 
of cotton cloth, etc., bought for this purpose. And numer- 
ous towels, handkercliiefs, caps, slippers, etc., and several 
dressing-gowns liave been cut and made from material not 
bought, but given to the Society. 

Five hundred and seventeen articles liave been sent to the 
Sanitary Commission Rooms in Boston to be forwarded to the 
Soldiers ; also over fifty bottles and jars of wines> jellies, 
pickles, etc., and a barrel of dried ai)ples. 



1863.] DURING THE REBELLION. 50 

Two liuiidred and seventy dollars and seventy-five cents 
have been received in monthly subscriptions, eighty-five dol- 
lars "and forty-eight cents in donations, and oiie dollar and 
thirty cents from other sources. 

Total from June 10th to Sept. 10th. three hundred and 
forty-seven dollars and fifty-three cents. 
By order of the Society, 

E. EDWARDS, Secrktary. 

Since writing this report another closely-packed barrel, and 
a box of wines and jellies have been forwarded by the Com- 
mittee to the Sanitary Committee Rooms in Boston. 

Oct. 29"tll. The President of the United States, under date 
of October 17th, issued a call for -300.000 Volunteers to serve 
for three years, or the war. The quota assigned to Massa- 
chusetts was 15,126. By the Governor's General Order No. 
30, this Town's quota was thirty-eight. 

Dec. 14th. A Town Meeting was held to act on the follow- 
in Articles. 

Article 2d. — To see what sum of money the Town will 
appropriate to pay the necessary expenses of recruiting its 
quota of soldiers under the last call of the President. 

Article 3d. — To see if the Town will choose a Committee 
to aid the Selectmen in securing enlistments. 

Took up Article 2d, and 

Voted^ That the Town Treasurer be authorized to pay, if 
necessary, for expenses in recruiting, a sum not exceeding 
fifteen dollars for new recruits, and twenty-five dollars for 
veterans that shall be accepted as the quota of this town ; it 
being understood that the above-mentioned sums will be paid 
by the United States Government for said recruits. 

Took up Article 3d, and 

Voted, That it be indefinitely postponed. This action was 
taken in consequence of the good success of the Town in 
filling up its quota.

bagging for bed-sacks, crash and yarn. The balance in the 
treasury on the first of March was $29.16. 

The Society has made and forwarded to the Sanitary Com- 
mission for the Soldiers five hundred articles or more, besides 
nearly one hundred yards of bandages. In addition, there 
has been sent numerous second-hand articles of clothing, 
shirts, sacks, coats, etc. ; also several packages of cocoa, 
farina, corn-starch, coffee, various bottles of tamarinds, 
catsup, and wine, jars of jelly, pickles, etc., and seventy-three 
pounds of dried apples. 

It is a matter of regret that the uncomfortable weather 
and walking of the last two or three months have prevented 
the ladies of the Society from accomplishing nearly as much 
as they otherwise would have done. 

In closing our report we cannot but express a hope that 
each member, male and female, of the Society will, for the 
good of the Soldiers, and for the honor of Andover, feel iii 
duty bound to increase its usefulness and success. 

We have been warned by the Sanitary Commission that

The law referred to by General Schouler in his circular of 
March 31st. was but a partial allowance of the claim which 
Governor Andrew had been pressing for a long time upon 
the attention of Congress. By untiring energy and an earnest 
personal appeal, lie was successful in carrying through Con- 
gress the Acts of July 4th, 1864, allowing naval credits and 
recruiting in disloyal States. The substance of the first of 
these Laws is found in the following letter, a copy of which 
was addressed to each Commissioner. 

War Dkpartment, 
Provost Marshal-Gkneral's Office, 
Washington, D.C, eJuly 7, 1864. 

His Excellency John A. Andrew, Governor, etc. 

Sir, — Section 8 of the Act approved July 4, 1864, "fur- 
ther to regulate and provide for the enrolling and calling out 
of the National Forces, and for other purposes," is as follows: 



1864.] DURING THE REBELLION. 60 

" That all persons in the Naval service of the United States, 
who have entered said service during the present rebellion, 
who liave not been credited to the quota of any town, district, 
ward, or State, l)j reason of their being in said service and 
not enrolled prior to Feb. 24. 18l)4, shall be enrolled and 
credited to the quotas of the town, ward, district, or State 
in which they respectively reside, upon satisfactory proof 
of their residence made to the Secretary of War." 

The Secretary of War hereby apj)oints your Excellency 
and flon. John H. Clifford, a Commission to ascertain what 
credits the State of Massachusetts and tlie different sub-divis- 
ions of the State are entitled to, under the law given above. 

In determining this question, the Secretary thinks it will 
be fair to presume tliat the State in which Naval enlistments 
have been made is entitled to the credit for those enlistments, 
unless it shall appear by more direct evidence that the credits 
belong elsewhere ; the points of law to be observed in apply- 
ing tlie Act quoted will readily be perceived by the Com- 
mission. 

Major F. N. Clarke, acting Assistant Provost Marslial-Gen- 

eral for Massachusetts, will represent the United States. 

***** * 

JAMES B. FRYE, Prov. Mar. Gex. 

July 21st. The Governor issued a second circular-letter 
requiring the municipal officers of the cities and towns to 
return to the Adjntant-General's office, on or before tlie 10th 
day of August, a sworn list of their residents who have , 
entered the Naval service, as stated in the Act of Congress. 

Municipal officers who have already made complete, suffi- 
cient, and correct returns of such persons in the Naval 
service in response to a circular of the Adjutant-General of 
the 31st of March last, are not required to repeat the same ; 
but those who wisli to correct the same can do so. 

As Congress did not pass the Law until July 4th, and as 
a draft was to be made early in September, it became of 
much im[)ortance that tlie number of Naval credits due to 



64 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1864. 

Massachusetts should be known and properly distributed 
without delay. 

In order to ascertain the number of men who had enlisted 
for the Navy in Massachusetts it was necessary to copy the 
rolls on board the receiving ship Ohio, at the Charlestown 
Navy Yard ; when this was done it showed that the total 
number enlisted from April 13, 1861, to Fel). 24, 1864, was 
twenty-two tliousand three hundred and sixty. 

The returns made in response to the above circular, and 
that of March 31st, showed tliat the whole number claimed 
by cities and towns was sixteen thousand one lumdred and 
eighty-one ; being six thousand one lumdred and seventy- 
nine less than the number copied from the rolls of the 
receiving ship. 

The instructions given by the Commissioners to their 
clerks were : 

Firsts To credit only those who liad joined the service 
subsequent to the rebellion. 

Second, Only those who had joined the service at some 
rendezvous in the State. 

Third, When a man was claimed by two or more cities or 
towns, neither city or town was to receive the credit, but the 
credit in dispute was to be given to the Slate at large. 

The application of these rules reduced the credits claimed 
by the cities and towns, on the returns made by the Mayors 
and Selectmen, from sixteen thousand one hundred and eighty- 
one, to eleven thousand seven hundred and nineteen, 11,719 
leaving the number credited to the State at large, 
and to be distril)uted, pro rata, to the credit of cities 
and towns of the State, ten thousand six hundred and 

forty-one, 10,641 

Total number of enlistments copied from the rolls 

of the Ohio, , . . . . . . 22,360 

When the claim of this town for Naval enlistments was 
subjected to the above rules, it will be seen that Lindsey 
and Morse were excluded by the 2d, while Midgeley, 



1864.] 



DURING THE REBIiLLION. 



65 



Welch, Gibbs, Hayward, Piatt, and Lovejoy, all being 
"claimed by two or more cities or towns," were credited 
to the State at large. As Smith and Abbott were commis- 
sioned officers their names did not appear on tlie Com- 
missioners' roll. In the case of Abbott, it does appear, how- 
ever, that there was found an unclaimed man with a similar 
name, who was allowed to the credit of the town, as a part of 
its quota. 

After these deductions the roll stood as follows : 

Roll <tf Seamen in fJie Naval Service of tlie United States to the 
credit of this Toivn.

After the thirty-eight men liad been mustered into service, 
tlie Town had filled all demands upon it by furnishing three 
hundred and twenty-five men for the army alone, and, follow- 
ing the example of the State authorities, may claim an addi- 
tional surplus of the seven men who were drafted and paid 
commutation money in July, 1868. 

Before the call of Feb. 11, 1861 was made for twenty-six 
men from this town, a large number of the veterans whose 
names follow had re-enlisted in the field to the credit of the 
town ; taking the whole list of sixty-three veterans and the 
surpluses before claimed, we liave one hundred and thirty-one 
men to meet the call of Feb. 11, 1864.

Article 2d. — To see if the Town will authorize their 
Treasurer to pay lor recruiting purposes such sums of money 
as may be necessary to iill the quota of Soldiers which have

Voted, That the Selectmen be authorized to expend for

May 21st. A report that the 1st Regiment of Heavy Ar- 
tillery, of wliich the Andover Company form a part, liad had 
an enii'asement with the rel)els reached this town this morn- 
ing. This report naturally caused much anxiety in the 
town. The Selectmen called a meeting of the citizens in 
the evening, that such measures miglit be taken as circum- 
stances should seem to render expedient. 

Jonas Holt was chosen President, several Vice-Presidents, 
and two Secretaries were also chosen. 

There was very little information before the meeting 
beyond the fact of an engagement, and the report that two 
or three Andover men had been killed or wounded. 



1864.] DURING THE REBELLION 69 

The meeting was addressed by the President, Peter Smith, 
Rev. Mr. Litchfield, and George Foster. It then adjourned

adjournment from Saturday evening last was very large and 
interesting. Remarks were made Ijy Rev. Dr. Jackson, 
George Foster, Rev. Mr. Babbitt, Rev. Mr. Merrill, and 
others. 

Rev. Charles Smith. Josiah L. Chapin, and George Foster 
were appointed a Committee to prepare a letter to the Sol- 
diers, and to report resolutions to the meeting. 

The Committee reported the following resolutions which 
were passed unanimously. 

Whereas, The citizens of Andover have heard of the battle 
of Thursday night, in which Company H. of tlie 1st Massa- 
chusetts Heavy Artillery was conspicuously engaged, and in 
which tliey suffered severely in killed and wounded.

felt congratulation. 

Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with tlie wounded, 
and hereby convey to them the expression of our wishes and 
prayers for their speedy recovery. 

Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to assist, to the extent 
of our ability, our Soldiers who are perilling their persons 
and lives for the purpose of suppressing this wicked rebellion.

70 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1864. 

appointed on this Commission. A subscription to defray the 
expenses of the Commission was taken up, amounting to one 
hundred and forty-four dollars and fifty cents, to which one 
hundred dollars was added from the collection taken in the 
Episcopal Society. 

A Financial Committee was appointed to receive further 
subscriptions. This Committee consisted of Warren F. 
Draper, David Howarth, and George Foster. 

Another Committee called the " Home Committee," was 
appointed, to be a medium of communication between the

Meeting on the 26th, left at noon tliis day for Washington, 
taking with them the Resolutions passed at the meeting on 
the 24th, and the following letter : 

"Andoveij, May 26tli, 1864. 

" To the Officers and Privates of Comjjany H, and other 
Soldiers coniiected ivith the First Regiment Massachusetts 
Heavy Artillery : 

" Dear Friends, — Last Saturday morning the exciting 
intelligence reached us, that you had been in an engagement 
with the enemy, even before reaching the main army. And 
while your bravery and heroism in the deadly conflict were 
borne to us on every breeze, our admiration of your noble 
and perilous deeds was mingled with serious apprehensions 
that casualties had ensued which would bring sadness and 
mourning to many of our families. 

" The Selectmen immediately issued notice for a meeting of 
the people to be held on the same evening. A large number 
assembled at the appointed time, all anxious to do whatever 
could be done to exhibit their sympathy for those in painful 
suspense, and their friends who might be in great suffering. 



1864.] DURING THE REBELLION. 71 

As the information then received was meagre, the meeting- 
was adjourned to Tuesday evening. 

"The adjourned meeting was a very large one, and the in- 
terest manifested was most earnest and sympathetic. Facts 
gathered from your letters were announced and listened to 
with intense eagerness. Appropriate addresses were made 
by several gentlemen, conveying expressions of condolence 
and tenderness to the afflicted and sorrowful. 

" The undersigned were appointed a Committee to address 
to you a letter, and to prepare and rei)ort to the meeting- 
resolutions for adoption. The subjoined resolutions were 
reported by the Committee, and adopted by a unanimous 
vote. 

" While our attention is at this time more particularly 
directed to your Company and Regiment on account of the 
many killed and wounded of your number, we would at the 
same time make appreciative reference to our other brave 
friends, scattered throughout the great loyal army, and, like 
yourselves, perilling all that is dear of earth for the salvation 
of our beloved country." 

CHARLES SMITH, \ 

JOSIAH L. CHAPIN, [• Committee.

George F. Hatch, wounded June od, at Cold Harbor by

shall be able to remove the ball, and he sees no reason

March 25th. Adjourned Town Meeting. The following 

opinion from the Attorney-General was submitted by the 

Committee. 

Boston, Jan. 25, 1867. 
Hon. CIko. Foster, 

Chairman of a Committee of the Toion of Andover. 

Dear Sir, — My opinion is asked respecting three classes 
of claims made upon the Town of Andover by men, or by 
the families of men, who served from Andover, or on the 
quota of Andover, during a portion of the time covered by 
the late rebellion. 

As I understand it, the claims are these : 

First, At Town Meetings held in Andover on the sixth of 

12 



90 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1867. 

May, and on the eighth of July, A.D. 1861, the Town, 
among other things, voted to pay the family of each Yohm- 
teer the sum of eight dollars per month, as long as such 
Volunteer continued in service. [This is the substance, 
tliough not the exact language, of the vote passed at the 
meeting in May, and ratified in July]. 

It is claimed that, by virtue of this vote, the town is bound 
in law or equity, or both, to pay this sum to such families 
from the sixtb of August, A.D, 1861 (at which time pay- 
ments under the vote ceased to be made), to the time when 
the service of each Volunteer was ended. 

Second, There was distributed and posted up in the town, 
by authority of the Selectmen, as it is said, and as 1 shall 
assume to be true, a hand-bill, the material portions of which 
are as follows : 

The bounties now offered to recruits to fill up the quota of 
Andover, amount to -$210. 
The Government pays in advance, . 
The Government pays at the end of the service, 
The Town pays, ...... 

Messrs. Smith and Dove, .... 

Amounting to 1210 00 

[Dated] Andoveu, July 19th, 18G2. 

In fact the bounty offered by the Government was to those 
only who served two years. Some, or all of the men, enlist- 
ing at this time from Andover, served less than two years 
(having been discharged by the Government, because of the 
substantial cessation of hostilities), and received none, or but 
a portion, of the Government bounty. 

These men now claim that the Town shall make their 
bounty up to %'2\0. 

Thirds Volunteers from Andover re-enlisted in the field in 
the latter part of the year 1863, and in the year 1864, prior 
to the sixteenth of May of that year. On the sixteenth 
of May, 1864, the Town voted (in substance), to authorize

the Selectmen to expend $125 for eacli recruit necessary to 
fill the Town's quota. Before this vote was passed, many of 
the towns in the State had been paying the same sum to re- 
enlisting men. It is said that citizens of Andover, both private 
and official, expressed the opinion, and, perhaps, promised 
persons who had re-enlisted, and who afterwards re-enlisted, 
that Andover would do as well by such persons as other 
Towns did. 

The claim is that these persons, so re-enlisting as I have 
described, are now entitled to receive from the Town the 
bounty of $125. 

The hand-bill which 1 have alluded to, and the votes of the 
Town upon these subjects, have been put into my hands, in 
addition to the facts above stated. 

It is on this case, and these facts, that my opinion is asked. 

I may say in the outset upon the general question involved 
in these claims, that the power of Towns to raise and appro- 
priate money is to be exercised only within the limits pre- 
scribed by the Statutes of the Commonwealtli. And it was 
long ago determined by the Supreme Court of this Common- 
wealth in the case. Stetson vs. Kempton, 13 Mass. 272, that 
Towns have no authority in times of war and danger of hos- 
tile invasion to raise money for additional wages to soldiers 
or for other purposes of defence. 

This decision, except as it has been modified by subsequent 
acts of legislation, is the law. 

As to the first class of cases. 

In the light of the decision wliich I have just referred to, 
the vote of the Town passed on the sixth of May, 1861, was 
undoubtedly illegal. 

The Legislature, however, on the twenty-second of May, 
1861, by an Act then passed (chap. 222 of the Acts of 1861), 
ratified the contract made by the Town by this vote, so far as- 
to authorize payments under it to a certain limited extent. 
This Act provided that the contract so made should terminate 
at the end of ninety days from its date, or from the date of a 
subsequent enlistment made under the contract. 



92 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1867. 

I understand that all such contracts made by the Town of 
Andover expired by virtue of this Act as early as August 6th, 
1861. 

I think the Town is not only not bound to make any pay- 
ments under this vote for a service subsequent to August 6th, 
but that no such payment can legally be made. 

The vote of the Town on the eighth of July, 1861, passed 
as it was after the before-named Act of the Legislature, which 
(by section 3) expressly forbade such payments to Soldiers, 
is merely void. It enacted no contract and would authorize 
no payment. 

So I am of opinion that the first class of claims is un- 
founded. 

As to the claims of the second class. 

In my judgment the hand-bill, even if it had been signed 
by the Selectmen, and even if they had authority to bind the 
Town, cannot be construed as a promise or agreement by the 
Town to pay the Government bounty. The whole effect of 
it is, that the Town agree to pay a certain sum ; and it con- 
tains the statement that the Government have agreed to pay 
a certain sum, and Smith and Dove a certain sum. These 
sums, togetiier, make up the $210, which is the amount 
which the hand-bill states is now offered to Andover recruits. 

The hand-bill contains no contract that the Town will pay 
the bounties offered by the Government, or by Smith and 
Dove, if they should fail to pay. The only ground on which 
it can be pretended that tlie Town is either equitably or 
legally bound, is that the hand-bill (still supposing it to have 
been authorized or signed by the Selectmen), does not state 
things truly, and that men enlisting were misled by it. 

The hand-bill states, in substance, that the Government 
will pay to recruits a bounty of $100. In fact, this bounty 
was payable only to those who served two years. This was 
not so stated in the hand-bill. If any persons were misled 
by this, and 1 shall assume that there were such, then the 
case would stand somewhat as it would if Smith and Dove 
had never promised to pay the sum stated in the hand-bill, 



1867.] DURING THE REBELLION 93 

and persons misled by such statement, and because of such 
statement, had enlisted. If the Selectmen, knowing that 
Smith and Dove had made no such promise, had falsely 
stated in such a hand-bill that they had so promised, and 
persons had been misled by this statement, and had enlisted 
in consequence of it, the Town would not have been in any 
way liable. It would have been fraud on the part of the 
Selectmen, but the Town would not be responsible. 

In the actual case before us, no one will contend or pre- 
tend that any fraud was intended. Everybody reading the 
hand-bill knew that whatever the Government had promised 
was by virtue of some Act of Congress, or by some Procla- 
mation from the President or the War Department. No one 
reading the hand-bill would suppose that it stated anything 
but a very brief epitome of such Act or Proclamation ; and 
€very one would suppose that for particulars, for modifica- 
tions, for qualifications, for modes, and times, and conditions 
of payment, he must go to the document itself. 

With the views that were then entertained by the commu- 
nity as to the duration of the war, no one issuing such a 
hand-bill would have supposed that the fact that the bounty 
was payable only in the event of two years service was of any 
•consequence. Every one then supposed that the rebellion 
would last a longer tune than that, and the Government itself 
indicated the same belief by calling for enlistments for three 
years. 

Even if there had been knowingly made by the Selectmen 
a false statement, with the intention to deceive, and if per- 
sons had been deceived, as I have before said, the Town 
would not be responsible. How much less, then, is the 
Town responsible when there was no intention to deceive, 
and when no one could be deceived unless grossly negligent 
himself? 

I have assumed that persons were misled by the hand-bill. 
It would probably be found, however, that no person enlisted 
without well-knowing that the Government bounty was only 
payable on two years' service. 



94 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1867- 

I am of opinion that the Town is no way liable for, and, 
moreover, cannot legally pay the claims of the second class. 
Even if the Town should now vote to pay these claims, I 
think such vote would be illegal, and that the money could 
not lawfully be paid in virtue of it. 

As to the claims of the third class. 

The only authority which Towns have or had to pay the- 
bounties asked for by these claimants, is derived from the Act 
of March 18th, 1864 (Chap. 108, 1864). 

That Act, Sec. 1, authorizes a Town to raise money for the 
purpose of procuring its quota called for under the Orders of 
the President, dated October 17th, 1863, and February 1st, 
1864, and that the amount raised shall not exceed $125 for 
each person enlisted after the passage of this Act. Section 2, 
of the same Act, provides tliat all sums raised under this Act 
shall be assessed at the next annual assessment, which would 
be the assessment of 1865. 

Under this Act the Town might have raised sufficient 
money to pay $125 to each person enlisting after March 
18th, 1864, and no more. The Town, however, passed no 
vote to raise any money or make any payment under this- 
Act until May 16th, 1864, and this vote authorized the ex- 
penditure only of $125 for " eacli recruit necessary to fill our 
quota." 

Persons enlisting after that date, and to whom the promise- 
was made of this sum, even by the Selectmen, are entitled tO' 
it, undoubtedly. 

Persons enlisting before that time, and especially persons 
enlisting before the Act of March 18th, 1864, can have no 
possible claim under any vote,of the Town submitted to me. 
And I do not think it would be possible for the Town now to 
pass any vote which would enable it, legally, to pay this 
bounty to those men, if any, who enlisted between March 
18th, 1864, and May 16th, 1864. 

The year 1865, in which any money raised under this Act 
must have been assessed, is past, and the power of the Towns 
to proceed under it is ended. It may be said that the terms 



1867.] DURINCr THE REBELLION. 95 

" at the next animal assessment," used in the second section, 
means the next annual assessment after the appropriation of 
such money, and that money may now be approi)riated and 
assessed at the next annual assessment now coming. The 
only effect of such a construction, and a vote now passed by 
the Town, would be to authorize the payment of tliis bounty 
to such as enlisted between Mai-ch 18th and May IGth, 
1864. 

But, as I have said, I do not think this the correct con- 
struction of the Act. I think the assessment intended was 
the assessment of 1865. 

This Act was designed as a temporary and war measure, 
and to enable the Towns to meet the then pressing exigency, 
and to enable Towns then to procure their qiiotas. 

I am, therefore, of opinion that the Town of Andover can- 
not legally pay the claims of the third class. 

I have discussed these questions with more detail and at 
greater length than I intended, or than was perhaps ne- 
cessary. But as I went on, and remembered that it was 
the people of the Town, and not a single individual, to whom 
the opinion is addressed, and wiio are to be satisfied and con- 
vinced, if possible, I thought this full consideration of the 
questions would possibly be more acceptable than a mucli 
briefer one. Yours, truly, 

CHESTER I. REED. 



The Committee desire to say that they have endeavored 
to consider the Soldiers' claims with fairness and impartiality. 
Finding them in the aggregate to amount to about thirty 
thousand dollars, it seemed important to obtain a legal opin- 
ion on these questions of the highest authority. They there- 
fore submitted all the facts in the case to the Attorney- 
General of the State. His very able and elaborate opinion 
upon these claims will be read with interest ; and the dis-

A Statement showing the Proportion of Men that this Town furnished 
for the Military and Naval service of the United States during 
the Rebellion, as compared with the number furnished by the State 
at large.

in the State as returned by the United States enrolling 
officei's in July, 1863, not including those in the Army and 
Navy, was 164,178

claimed under oath to have furnished to that date for the 
Army, 76,102 

The Commissioners reported the number of enlistments in the 
Navy at Charlustown from the commencement of the war to 
Feb. 24, 1864, to have been 22,360 



262,640 



The Adjutant-General reported that the whole number of men 
furnished by the State to both Army and Navy was 159,165 or 
60.60 per cent of 262,640. 
The number of enrolled militia in Andover in July, 1863, was 428 

The Town had furnished to that date for the Army, 287 

And to the Navy, three commissioned officers and two seamen, 5 

720 

By the statement that immediately precedes this, it will be noticed 

that the Town had furnished on her quotas, 550 

Tlie Town's proportion according to the average would have been 

60.60 per cent of 720, or, 436

APPENDIX. 



History of th3 First Eegiment Massach-asetts Heavy Artillery. 

[copied from the official reports of tts officers]. 

This Regiment, organized as the 14th Infontry, commonly knowo 
as the "Essex County Regiment," from its having been mostly 
raised in this part of the State, was mustered into the service of the 
United States, July 5th, 1861, at Fort Warren. On the 7th of 
August it left Fort Warren, Boston Harbor, for Washington, 
under command of Colonel William B. Greene, and upon arriving 
there, was ordered to Camp Kalorama, Meridian Heights, Maryland, 
where it remained until the 18th of the same month, when it was 
ordered to cross the Potomac and garrison Fort Albany, considered 
at that time the key to Washington. Shortly after it was called 
upon to furnish a garrison for Fort Runyon, and the works at the 
head of the Long Bridge. On the 1st of January, 1862, by order 
from the War Department, the regiment was changed from an 
Infantry to a Heavy Artillery Regiment ; consequently requiring an 
increase in its number, of fifty men to each company, and two 
additional companies of one hundred and fifty men each, to raise it 
to the standard, which was duly accomplished. Early in April 
following, the regiment was required, in addition to the forts already 
occupied by them, to furnish garrisons for Forts Scott, Richardson, 
Barnard, Craig, and Tillinghast, vacated by infantry regiments 
detached for other service. They remained in garrison in these Forts 
until August 23d, when they were ordered to Cloud's Mills, where 
they remained until the 26th, when orders were received to march 
to Manassas, to participate in the Battle of Bull Run. While on 
the march to this point, on the morning of the 27th, between Annan- 
dale and Fairfax Court House, they were met by squads of flying 
soldiers belonging to the Second New York Artillery, who had pre- 
ceded them the previous day, and who had met and were repulsed 
by Stuart's Cavalry. The regiment kept on, passing on their route

a long supply train of four or five miles in length, belonging to Gen- 
eral Banks' army, which had been ordered back for safety. When 
about a mile beyond Fairfax Court House they were met by two 
pieces of the Twelfth New York Battery (the remainder having been 
captured by the enemy), rapidly retreating, followed in close pursuit 
by the enemy's cavalry. Colonel Wm. B. Greene of this Regiment 
ordered them to stop, and placed them in position, under the charge 
of one of his captains, at the same time deploying his regiment 
through the woods on both sides of the road. They remained in 
line all day, and lay on their arms during the following night. 
Early on the morning of the next day, one of their pickets was shot 
by the enemy and subsequently taken to a house in the rear for 
suro-ical treatment. While the surgeons were engaged in their 
duty, the liouse in wliicli they were occupied was surrounded by 
the enemy's cavalry and the whole party taken prisoners, including 
the capture of an ambulance, a hospital wagon, and a four-horse 
regimental wagon with their drivers. After being taken a few miles 
the surgeons were unconditionally released, and the remainder of 
the party paroled by the enemy. Late in the day the Regiment 
received orders to return to Cloud's Mills where they arrived late 
the same evening, having marched seventeen miles in five hours and 
a half. The day following the regiment was ordered to garrison 
Forts Albany, Craig, Tillinghast, Woodbury, Whipple, De Kalb, 
Corcoran, Haggerty, and Bennett. After doing duty in these forts 
for more than a week the regiment was relieved from duty at the 
three last named. About the middle of September Companies H 
and I were ordered to Maryland Heights for garrison duty ; and 
about a mouth later Co. C was ordered to join them. 

The history of the regiment during the year 1863, so honorable 
to Massachusetts, and the officers and men comprising it, is so well 
told in the following letter of Colonel Tannatt, and the Reports of 
Major Rolfe and Major Holt, that nothing need be added. 

Head-Quarters First Mass. Heavy Artillery, 
Fort Whipple, Va., Jan. 1, 1864. 

General: — Your request for data to embody in your Annual 
Report, has been deferred in order to obtain a correct account of the 
nature of service performed by the battalion then serving at IMary- 
land Heights, but since returned to the regiment. 



DURING THE REBELLION. 203 

Notice of my transfer from the Sixteenth to this regiment readied 
me a few days prior to the first battle of Fredericksburg. At the 
request of my old and esteemed officers I remained with the Sixteenth 
until the return of the army to Falmouth, joining this regiment for 
duty, January 1st 1863. Upon assuming command, I found certain 
reforms necessary, but passing to the present time, I will but remark, 
that the regiment is to-day held in high esteem for its proficiency in 
drill, good discipline, and military appearance. With the exception 
of a transfer of three companies from lesser Forts to Fort Whipple, 
the largest and most complete earthwork in the defences of Wash- 
ington, no change has been made in the station of the eight com- 
panies here on duty. 

Companies B, C, H, and I, detached until December 1, 1863, 
have seen service alike creditable to the officers and men. Company 
I was in the battle of Winchester, gaining much praise for their 
good conduct, and artillery skill ; being ordered by General Milroy 
to remain and spike the guns left by his command. Captain Martin 
and forty men were taken prisoners ; the men are exchanged and 
again on duty ; Captain Martin is in Libby prison. 

The regiment has performed a vast amount of labor during the 
year, having erected fine quarters for officers and men ; completed 
and occupied one forty-three-gun fort, besides erecting three large 
bomb-proof barracks, capable of quartering the men. 

The system of promoting from the ranks has in no case been set 
aside, but preceded by a thorough examination of such sergeants as 
desired to compete for commissions. This system, extended to the 
issue of warrants, has given to the regiment a valuable class of junior 
officers, correct in habits, and efficient in drill and command, whilst 
the scale of warrant officers has reached a highly desirable degree of 
proficiency. During the year, twenty-one vacancies in the roster of 
officers have been well filled by the promotion of sergeants. 

Finding the records of the regiment very defective, some time 
elapsed before your ofHce could be furnished witli the returns so 
necessary to you. During the presence of the rebel army in 
Pennsylvania, the troops of this command were called upon to picket 
in front of their line, thus doing the double duty of infiintry and 
artillery. Several marches to the assistance of points threatened by 
guerillas, proved that, although garrison troops, the men were ever 
ready for any duty regardless of exposure. A more careful perform- 
ance of picket duty I have yet to see. 



204 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER 

. Since joining this regiment I have been much of the time called 
upon to command the brigade, of which the regiment forms a part, 
and for two months the line of defences south of the Potomac, retain- 
ino- command of my regiment during the time, thus being obliged 
to leave undone many things necessary in my immediate command. 

Your attention is called to the enclosed Reports from Majors 
Rolfe and Holt. 

In closing 1 desire to convey to his Excellency and yourself, my 
personal thanks for the uniform courtesy extended to me upon all 
points of interest to the men of my command. 

In no case has political or social influence been allowed to govern 
the position, promotion, or conduct of any ofhcer or soldier, but a 
clear and conscientious consideration has greatly assisted me in my 
feeble efforts to make my regiment capable of maintainingan honorable 
place among the troops sent from Massachusetts. This regiment is 
now filled by recruits ; a large proportion of the old and original 
members having re-enlisted. Of the present condition of the regi- 
ment it is more proper that others sliould speak. 

I .have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Adjutant-General of Massachusetts. 



Head-Quarters, 2d Battalion, 1st Mass. H. A., 
Fort Woodbury, Va., Jan. 8, 1864. 

Sir; — In accordance with the Colonel's orders of the 1st instant, 
I have the honor to make the following i-eport of the marches, etc., 
made by my former command. First Battalion, First Massachusetts 
Heavy Artillery, while on detached service. 

On the 27th of September, 1862, in accordance with orders 
received from Major-General McClellan, through intermediate 
head-quarters, I proceeded by rail with Companies H and I, to 
Harper's Ferry, Va., and reported to Major-General E. V. Sumner, 
commanding post. He directed me to march my command up on 
Maryland Heights, and report to Brigadier-General A. S. Williams, 
commanding Twelfth Corps, and get the heavy guns, which had 



DURING THE REBELLION. 205 

been spiked and rolled down the heights (by order of Colonel 
Miles, about twelve days previous), read}^ for use as soon as possi- 
ble. Arriving upon the heights at a position known as the Naval 
Battery, we found the heavy guns to be two nine-inch J. A. D. 
guns, and one fifty-pounder J. A. D. gun, all spiked, dismounted 
and rolled down the heights, fifteen or twenty feet from their 
platforms. 

Not having suitable machines for mounting the guns, we went 
into the woods, cut down trees, and made blocks, and with them 
succeeded in getting the guns in position, and mounting thom on 
their carriages. Wliile Lieutenant Guilford, in command of a few 
men, was getting the spikes out of the guns, others were hunting 
in the woods and bushes for the broken implements and equipments, 
which we repaired suiRciently to SL-rve the guns wiih. Some 
ammunition was found in a tent near by, which had been but 
partially destroyed, and was prepared for use. On the evening of 
the fourth day after we arrived there, I reported to General Sumner 
that the guns were ready ior use. 

Two twenty-pounder batteries from the artillery reserve of the 
Army of the Potomac were stationed near the Naval Battery when 
we arrived there, but they were ordered away a few days after we 
got the heavy guns ready for use. Our tents were not pitched for a 
week or ten days, because every man was employed in getting the 
guns in order, and the ground we wanted was occupied by the 
batteries ; but the weather was exceedingly fair. 

Requisitions were then made for the necessary ordnance, com- 
missary, and quartermaster stores, which I succeeded in getting 
without much trouble. There being no magazines for the ammuni- 
tion, we commenced on four small ones immediately after the guns 
were in position. Two or three days after w^e got the naval guns in 
position I received several Parrott guns from Washington Arsenal. 
These were placed in position at the Naval Battery. 

October 27, 1862, Captain A. G. Draper reported to me with his 
company (C), and a few days after commenced on a new battery 
(now Fort Duncan), and several Parrott guns that arrived a few 
days after the company did, were put in temporary position near it. 
December 23, 1862, Captain C. S. Heath reported to me with liis 
company (B), which was sent to the top of the heights, one thousand 
and sixty-five feet above the Potomac River, to build the Howitzer 



206 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER 

Battery, with five boat howitzers I had received a few weeks- 
previous. 

January 23, 1863, Assistant-Surgeon E. B. Mason, of our regiment, 
reported to me; previous to which time the sick of the battalion had 
been attended by assistant-surgeons detailed from regiments stationed 
near us. From the time we arrived at Harper's Ferry, Va., until 
the lOth of June, 1863, the battalion was employed most of the 
time in building batteries, magazines, and barracks, putting guns in 
position, repairing roads, and hauling up supplies of all kinds. 

June 10th, Company I was ordered to Winchester. For an 
account of the doings of the company from that time until it arrived 
at Harpe^-'s Ferry, Va., I refer you to Lieutenant J. B. Hanson's 
Report. Nearly all of Company I, except those who were taken 
prisoners (Captain and forty-four men), arrived at Maryland Heights 
on the 16th and 17th of June, in an exhausted and destitute condition. 
Some of the men arrived back via Harrisburg. Pa., near the last of 
the month. Lieutenants Hopnin and Holt arrivi^d on the 16th, and 
as fast as the men came in, got them together and supplied their 
wants. A few days after. Company I started for Winchester. 
Captain Hawkins, of the P^ighth New York Artillery, reported to 
me with his company (F), from Baltimore, and was sent to the 
battery left by Company L It being a small company, as soon a& 
Company I arrived from Winchester and got rested, I sent it to its 
old battery, to assist the New Yoi'k company in case of an attack. 

We were expecting an attack from the 16th of June to the 1st of 
July, — the day we evacuated. A great many changes were made at 
the batteries just previous to the evacuation, and a portion of the 
battalion worked day and night. The battalion, with a very little 
assistance, built before the evacuation, logl)arracks for two companies, 
twelve magazines, and four batteries, hauled up thirty-five pieces of 
artillery, and two hundred and twenty tons of ammunition of the 
best quality, besides a large amount of quartermaster and commissary 
stores. 

June 29th, received orders to evacuate Maryland Heights, and 
destroy everything but the guns. During the night hauled the 
guns away from Fort Duncan and Howitzer Battery, and destroyed 
the ammunition. 

June 30th, hauled the guns down from the Thirty-Pounder 
Battery, destroyed the ammunition, and loaded a part of the guns 



DURING THE REBELLION. 207 

from the three batteries dismantled, aboard canal-boats. While 
•destroying the ammunition at Fort Duncan, a shell exploded, and 
Sergeant E. J. Graham, {)rivates Wm. Ikichellor and J. M. Cutter, 
Company C, were wounded ; the sergeant badly. Also, while destroy- 
ing the ammunition at Thirty-Pounder l^attery, an explosion occurred, 
outside the bnttery, killing five or six, and wounding eight or ten. 
No one of this regiment was injured at tlie last explosion. Both 
explosions were the results of excitement and carelessness. The 
battalion was ordered to march -with General Kenley's (Maryl3.nd) 
brigade, but subsequently was ordered to remain behind until all 
the guns (except a few old ones, which were to be left, to protect 
the retreat of General Elliott's l)rigade, having ia charge the good 
guns), were loaded upon the canal-boats. Those guns for the 
protection of General Elliott were in cliarge of Captain Horace 
Holt. 

July 1st, about 10 o'clock, all the guns having been loaded, and 
put in charge of General Elliott's brigade, I marched with Companies 
B, C, and I, of this regiment, and Company F, of the Eighth New 
York Artillery, about fourteen miles towards Frederick, Maryland, 
and bivouacked for the night. This was a hard march for the 
battalion, as it was a very hot day, the road very muddy, and a part 
of the men had been obliged to work thirty-six hours, just before 
starting, in mud and water ; their feet became soft and tender, and 
the men were not used to marching. Before starting on tiie march, 
all the sick and wounded were put aboard canal-boats, and went 
safely to Washington, and shortly after nearly all reported to 
regimental head-quarters. 

July 2d, marched to Frederick, and reported to Brigadier-General 
Kenley. At 4 o'clock, p.m., the same day, marched with Tenth 
Vermont Regiment and Tenth Massachusetts Battery to Frederick 
Junction. Just as we were starting, Captain Holt arrived with his 
company, and, being very tired, was allowed to remain in Frederick 
until next morning, when he was directed to report to me at Fred- 
erick Junction. July 4th, received orders to leave two companies 
of my command to guard the Junction, and march with the other 
three to Frederick, and guard the public property and approaches 
to the town. After marching about half way to Frederick the order 
was countermanded, and the battalion marched back to the Junction. 

July 7th, sent Captain Holt and his company to Maryland Heights, 



208 THE RECORD OF ANDOVP^R 

by rail, by order of Major-General French. For an account of the 
doings of Company II, fronri the time it was left on Maryland 
Heights until it joined the battalion at Frederick Junction, and from 
the time it left Frederick Junction until it joined the battalion again, 
on the Boonsboro' and Hagerstown turnpike, I refer you to Captain 
Holt's Report, enclosed herewith. 

July 8th, sent Company F, Eighth New York Artillery, to Mary- 
land Heights to relieve Captain Holt's company, by order of Major- 
General French, and then marched through Frederick towards 
Middletown, until 9 o'clock in the evening, when we bivouacked for 
the night, and in the morning started for Middletown, which place 
we reached about 9 o'clock a.m. After resting a short time, 
marched towards South Mountain Pass, which place we reached 
about noon. In the evening we marched through the pass, in the 
rear of the Third Corps, and bivouacked for the night. July 10th, 
inarched through Kedersville and bivouacked for tlie night on the 
road to Sharpsburg, one mile from -Kedersville. and in rear of the 
Third Corps. 

July 11th, marched through Boonsboro', to near head-quaiters 
Third Corps, on Williamsport road, two miles from Boonsboro', and 
reported to Major-General French, who ordered me to report to 
Brigadier-General Hunt, Chief of Artillery, Army of the Potomac. 
The battalion was assigned by him to duty with the artillery reserve, 
Brigadier-General R. O. Tyler, commanding. IMarched to the 
camp of artillery reserve on the Boonsboro' and Hagerstown Turn- 
pike, three miles from Boonsboro', and reported to General Tyler. 
In the evening Captain Holt joined the battalion with his company. 

July 12th, detailed one hundred and forty-eight men for the 
different batteries of the reserve, by order of General Tyler. 
Captain Fuller, Thirty-Second Massachusetts Volunteers, with his 
company, was temporarily attached to my command. July 13th, 
marched with the reserve about eight miles towards Williamsport, 
and then marched back to near camp left in the morning. In the 
evening detailed forty men to report to Captain Robinson, Fourth 
Maine Battery, by order of General Tyler. 

July 15th, marched through Boonsboro', IMiddletown, and Jeffer- 
son, to within two miles of Berlin, Maryland. On the 18th, marched 
from Berlin across Potomac River, through Lovettsville to within a 
mile of Wheatland, Va. On the 19th, marched through Wheatland 



DURING THE REBELLION. 209 

to Purcellville. On the 20th, marched to Union. On the 21st, all 
men detailed into batteries, ordered by General Meade to be sent 
back to their companies, and I was ordered to march with the 
battalion to Harper's Ferry, Va., and report to the commanding 
officer. 

On the 22d, all men detailed in batteries, except eighteen of 
Company B, detailed in Company C, Fifth United States Artillery, 
and ordered to New York with the battery, arrived, and the battalion 
marched through Purcellville, Wheatland, and Lovettsville to Berlin. 
On the 23d, marched on the tow-path of the canal to Harper's 
Ferry, Va., and reported to Brigadier-General H. H. Lockwood, 
commanding post. The Eighth New York Artillery was occupying 
our old batteries, and had mounted the guns Captain Holt's company 
had spiked and rolled down the heights. The battalion went into 
camp near the Naval Battery. 

On the 25th, the battalion was ordered to occupy Fort Duncan. 
On the 27th, the Eight New York Artillery were ordered to vacate 
the batteries, and the battalion to re-occupy them. I was directed 
to inspect the works on Maryland Heights, report upon their con- 
dition and take measures to get guns and ammunition, and put the 
works in the best possible condition. 

On the 29th, I was sent to Washington by General Lockwood, 
with a letter to Generals Ripley and Barry (Chief of Ordnance, and 
Inspector of Artillery), requesting that the guns I might call for be 
sent to Maryland Heights as soon as possible. The armament I 
suggested was approved, and ordered to be sent immediately ; and 
the old guns and material left on the heights at the evacuation 
gathered up and sent to Washington Arsenal. I immediately went 
back to Maryland Heights, and set the battalion to work gathering 
up the two hundred tons of ammunition it had destroyed a month 
previous, had it hauled down from the heights, and, Avith the old 
guns spiked by Captain Holt's company, loaded aboard cars, and sent 
to Washington Arsenal. At the same time the new guns and 
ammunition arrived. The guns were hauled up by the men, — 
from 200 to 500 being required to haul up each gun. A part of 
the new guns were put in the old batteries, and the rest on new and 
commanding positions, and batteries built around them. 

Nearly the whole month of August was spent in replacing what 
had been destroyed in three days in June. 
27 



210 THE RPXOKU OF ANDOVER 

August lltli, an order was received discharging Assistant-Surgeon 
E. B. Mason, to receive an appointment in the Second Massachusetts 
Cavalry. From that time the sick of the battalion were attended by 
assistant-surgeons detailed from regiments around us, until August 
24th, when Assistant-Surgeon Samuel L. Dalton of our Regiment 
reported to me. 

October 14th, thirty-six men of Company 1, captured at Winchester, 
report(Hl to their company from Parole Camp, Annapolis, Md. From 
the time we arrived back at Harper's Ferry, until we were relieved 
by the Third Battalion, Fifth New York Artillery, on the 30th day 
of November, and ordered to report to regimental head-quarters, 
our duty was the same as before the evacuation, viz. building bat- 
teries, magazines, barracks, etc. In all the moving of guns which 
the battalion did, some of which was in the night, only one accident 
occurred, the circumstances of which are as follows : 

On the first of August, 1863, two hundred men were hauling a 
thirty-pounder Parrott gun up a very steep, rough place. It was a 
very long, hard pull, and when the gun arrived at the top, and com- 
menced to go easy, the men gave a cheer, and started on the run. 
Private AVilliam H. Wardwell, Company H, who was pulling on 
the I'ope near the gun, fell down, and the men being crowded on the 
rope, broke his hold, and, before the gun could be stopped, fell 
under the wheels of the gun-carriage, and was killed. 

In order to appreciate the difliculties under which the battalion 
labored, it must be known that the batteries were situated from 250 
to 1,065 feet above the river, and the roads leading to them very 
rocky, steep, and crooked, and barely wide enough for a wagon. 
Over these roads the guns, ammunition, and supplies of all kinds 
were hauled. Several times dui'ing the winter it was impossible to 
get down the mountain with a team for several days in succession, 
on account of the steep places in the road being covered with ice. 

During the whole time the battalion was on detached service, 
officers and men obeyed all orders given them, cheerfully and 
promptly, and evinced a desire to practise upon the enemy with what 
thev had studied for two years and a half, and gain a little honor for 
the reofiment, so that in July next, when the regiment is mustered 
out of service, it could not be said that the largest regiment in the 
United States service served a three-years' enlistment without even 
seeing a rebel in arms, while every other regiment from the State 



DURING THE REBELLION. 211 

had participated in one or more of tlie glorious achievements of the 
war, covered itself with glory, and reflected honor upon the old Bay 
State. 

Earnestly hoping that in the spring our regiment will be ordered 
to active duty with our arm of the service, 

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

FRANK A. ROLFE,- 

Major, First Mass. Heavy Artillery, Commanding. 



REPORT OF MAJOR HORACE HOLT. 

Four Whipple, Va., Jan. 9, 1864. 

I have the honor to respectfully submit the following report of 
the operations, marches, etc., of Company H, First Massachusetts 
Heavy Artillery, while detached from the first battalion of said 
regiment of which you were in command at Maryland Heights, Md. 

When General French evacuated Maryland Heights, ou the first 
of July, 1863, Company H, which I had the honor of commanding, 
was detailed to I'emain in charge of some heavy guns that were left 
upon the heights to cover the retreat, as large quantities of ord- 
nance and quartermaster's stores were being shipped upon canal-boats 
to Washington for safe keeping. After you had left the heights with 
General French, I reported (as directed) to General Elliott, who 
was in charge of the shipping of the stores, and with his brigade 
guards the canal-boats to Washington. He gave me orders to 
remain at the guns till dark that night, then to " spike " my guns 
and destroy the ammunition, and march for Frederick City, Md. 
As I was about to ' spike," I received orders from General Elliott 
to delay a few hours, as it was reported the enemy were advancing 
from the direction of Sharpsburg to destroy the canal-boats and 
stores. I accoi-dingly delayed until past ten o'clock ; saw no enemy, 
and learned the boats and all the troops were out of range of my 
guns. I then " spiked " and otherwise destroyed, and marched for 
Frederick City, Md., as directed. Seven miles out from Sandy 
Hook we came up with Captain Pengaskill, with a company of en- 
gineers and a small train of wagons, encamped for the night. Glad 
was Company H to join them. 

The next morning (July 2d), marched for Frederick City, where 



212 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER 

we arrived at five o'clock, p.m., all safe, but very much fatigued ; but 
found your command in line, and about to march for Frederick 
Junction. As I reported to you the condition of my company from 
fatigue, you obtained permission for us to remain at Frederick City 
that night. Next morning we joined you at Frederick Junction. 
f)n the evening of the sixth of July, I received orders from you to 
proceed 'with Company H to Maryland Heights again. I obtained 
transportation on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in open cars, 
attached to a train of four iron-clad cars ; each car was armed with 
a light field-piece, without the gun-carriages ; the pieces were slung 
with ropes from the top of the cars, and served thKOugh port-holes. 
The train was in charge of Lieutenant Meigs, of U. S. A., with 
orders to run up tlie railroad as far as Harper's Ferry, and learn 
the condition of the road and telegraph wires. 

We left Frederick Junction at 8 o'clock, a.m., July 7th ; arrived 
at Sandy Hook, Md., about 3 p.m., where we found Brigadier- 
General John R. Kenley, with the Maryland Brigade, just coming 
in from Frederick City. He immediately ordered Lieutenant Meigs 
and myself, with Company H, up to the Harper's Ferry l)ridge, to 
cover the advance of his brigade past the bridge and up the heights. 
On our al'rival at the bridge we found the enemy strongly posted, 
on the Harper's Ferry side, behind the railroad and old brick walls. 
As the brigade arrived, they (the rebels) opened with musketry. I 
ordered Lieutenant Carter, of Company H, with twenty men, to 
deploy as skirmishers along the Maryland bank of the river, under 
cover of timbers, rocks, etc., and Lieutenant Meigs opened fire with 
a twelve-pounder howitzer ; but as he could not bring his rear cars 
up to get range with the guns, he let me have two six-pounder brass 
pieces. I ordered Lieutenant Guilford, of Company ¥1, to take 
them out of the cars, and rig them on logs in the road, for shelling 
the town. Lieutenant Guilford accordingly took two gun detach- 
ments of Company H, and in ten minutes the guns were both rigged, 
each trunnion resting upon a log, using a piece of plank for a quoin, 
and the rebels were soon made to quit their hiding-place and get out 
of range. Quite a brisk skirmish was kept up until dark that night. 

There were seventeen men wounded in the Maryland Brigade ; 
Company H came out without a scratch. On the 8th, Company F, 
of the Eighth New York Heavy Artillery, reported from Frederick 
Junction, with orders relieving me, and ordering me to join you at 



DURING THE REBELLION. 213 

Middletovvn, Md. As I was about to march with my company, 1 re- 
ceived orders from Brigadier-General Naglee (who had just arrived 
and assumed command of tlie forces at Maryland Heights), to remain 
at tlie bridge, as he had orders to hold all troops that were then in his 
■command. The next morning (9th) 1 received orders from General 
Naglee to march my company up to the Naval Battery, and occupy 
my old quarters, and put the heavy guns in position that I liad 
spiked, by order of General Elliott, at the time of the first evacu- 
ation. On the morning of the 10th, I received orders from General 
Naglee to march with Brigadier-General Kenley's brigade (who was 
then under orders to report at Boonsboro', Md.), and report to 
you as soon as I conld find you. I was accordingly attached to the 
Eighth Maryland Regiment, under Colonel Denison. We marched 
that day to Boonsboro', Md. The next day (11th) we marched 
about seven miles beyond Boonsboro', halted, and commenced 
throwing up breastworks, as an attack was hourly expected. At 5 
o'clock, P.M., same day, you rode into camp, and had me relieved 
from the Maryland Brigade. I joined your battalion, then attached 
to the reserve artillery of the Army of the Potomac, camped by the 
Boonsboro' Pike. 

With regrets that the First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery cannot 
show upon her records an equal share of gallant deeds upon the 
battle-field with other Massachusetts regiments, and hoping yet that 
we shall have an opportunity of relieving an equal number of worn- 
out heroes from the front, and they have an opportunity of resting 
from long-continued hardships behind these breastworks on Arlington 
Heights, or some place equally safe. 

With great respect. Major, I am yours, etc.

The Regiment continued to occupy a portion of the fortifications 
■of Washington, south of the Potomac, until the loth of May, 1864. 
During the time it. was engaged in performing garrison duty, it 
accomplished a great deal in building fortifications, mounting and 
<lismounting heavy guns, and moving ordnance from one fortification 



214 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER 

to another. In addition it was employed in building and repairing 
military roads and bridges on each side of the several fortifications, etc. 

May 15th, 1864. The regiment marched to Alexandria (five 
miles), with orders to join the Army of the Potomac. Took trans- 
ports the same day for Belle Plain. Arrived at Belle Plain the 
16th. Disembarked and bivouacked on the ridge near the landing. 
Reported to Brigadier-General R. O. Tyler, and was assigned to 
the Second Brigade of his (Tyler's) Division (Colonel Tannatt 
commanding), composed mainly of heavy artillery regiments from 
the fortifications of Washington and Baltimore. 

May 17th, marched with the division to Head-Quarters Army 
of the Potomac, near Spottsylvania, Va. (twenty-three miles), 
passing through Fredericksburg. On arriving at army head-quarters

of the Williams House, to cover the shortening of our lines, the 
Sixth Army Corps having been sent to Washington ; remained in 
line of battle forty-eight hours. No enemy appearing, and the

House, on the Squirrel-level Road ; advanced and occupied the 
works, then steadily advanced, making connection with a division 
of the Ninth Corps, on the right. At 3, p.m., we developed 
the enemy's second line of works. At this time, orders were re- 
ceived for our brigade to make a demonstration on the enemy's 
works, to ascertain their strength, and, if possible, carry them. 
,The command was formed in a ravine, about five hundred yards 
from the work, the First occupying the first line. As we advanced, 
the enemy opened a battery that was masked in the angle of his 
works — having a raking fire with canister and spherical case. 
Gained a position about fifty yards from the works ; our support 
not coming up, were obliged to retire. Casualties, two commissioned 
officers wounded, two enlisted men killed, nine wounded, and eight

the 27th, marched at daylight, taking the Halifax Road, then to the 
right on the Vaughn Road, reaching the Boydton Plank Road at 
noon. At 2, p.m., the brigade formed in line of battle, supporting 
a battery (C, First United States Artillery). At 4, r.M., the enemy 
appeared on our right flank. An attempt was made to change front; 
but the action became general, and the enemy coming in such 
numbers that prisoners were captured and recaptured. Finding 
that the enemy could not be checked, the brigade was ordered to 
fall back on to the road, and re-form, leaving one section of artillery 
in the hands of the enemy. Re-forming on the road, I took the 
left of the First Massachusetts, assisted by volunteers from other 
regiments of the brigade and division, and by a quick dash across 
the field secured the section of artillery, and brought it safely off. 
Casualties, one enlisted man killed, six wounded, and twelve captured. 
About thirty more of the regiment were captured, but succeeded in 
making their escape, and reaching our lines after dark. 28th, with- 
drew, and marched to the Jones House, returning to Fort Alexander 
Hayes on the 30th. Distance marched, forty-three miles. Regiment 
remained at Fort Hayes until Nov. 28th, when it was again relieved. 
Joined the brigade at the rear, marched thence to the extreme left of 
our line, at the Peebles House, going into camp outside of the works, 
and near the Vaughn Road, with orders to make ourselves as com- 
fortable as possible. 

Supposing that the campaign was ended, and that we were now 
to have winter-quarters, the men went to work with a will, and in 
four days had put up comfortable log-huts, all supplied with fire- 
places, in hopes of remaining to enjoy them ; but on the 6th of De- 
cember orders were received to march at daylight of the 7th. 
Accordingly, the division reported to Major-General "Warren, com- 
manding Fifth Army Corps, for operation on the Weldon Railroad. 
Marched down the Jerusalem Plank Road, across the Nottaway River 
to Sussex Court House, thence to Jarrett Station, on the Weldon 
Railroad, then down the railroad to Bellfield, burning the ties and 
bending the rails, returning over the same road, arriving at the 
fortifications around Petersburg on the 13th of December. 

The men suffered severely on this raid, as the weather was very 
inclement, many of the men coming back over the frozen ground 
without shoes. Had no engagement on the raid. Four enlisted 
men straggled from the command, and fell into the enemy's hands. 
Distance marched, ninety-six miles.
